This is happening to me as well. I have a few moderately popular open source projects and I have found my name attached to new projects that I have nothing to do with or they are derivatives of my projects with redirection to unknown sites.

Legitimate projects:

https://github.com/jimmc414/onefilellm

https://github.com/jimmc414/Kosmos

https://github.com/jimmc414/cctrace

Projects using my name which I have no affiliation with or they are projects I have written that they have injected new URLs into:

Idk if this is intentional or just part of an innocent site that’s unwittingly hosting these but I just got a “we’re verifying your browser” page, as if _I’m_ the suspicious one. Nice social engineering.

How do you find these? I don't want to search for my name on those dodgy sites, as that tells them my projects exist.
