    GhostAction attack using GitHub and GitLab lookalike domains

    The GhostAction supply-chain campaign has evolved to use lookalike domains my-github.com and my-gitlab.com alongside continued GitHub account compromises that inject malicious Actions workflows to steal CI/CD secrets and credentials.
