GitLab has apparently taken down the Nightmare-Eclipse account just days after the researcher moved there following the GitHub ban.
The drama started after Nightmare-Eclipse released several Windows exploits and Defender bypass tools, including BlueHammer, RedSun, and UnDefend. GitHub removed the account earlier this week over concerns that the tools could be misused and weaponized.
Security company Huntress says some of the tools have already been seen in real-world intrusion cases, showing how quickly proof-of-concept research can end up being used in actual attacks.
