RubyGems and Github naming mismatch #41

Closed mensfeld closed 3 years ago

mensfeld commented 3 years ago

Hey,

My name is Maciej Mensfeld and I run a research security project called diffend.io.

I've noticed, that you have a mismatch between the repo name on GitHub (ruby-argon2) and the RubyGems one (argon2). This mismatch has been recently used as a brandjacking base for popular libraries like yours thus I took courtesy and "booked" it for you (if you want). If not, I'll just keep it as it is, protecting the argon2 :)

If you want to transfer the ownership just please reach out to me.

Have a great day and thank you

Hence here we are. Thanks for being proactive in registering potential brand jacking.

:wave: @technion I agree with your arguments.

I opened this issue just to make you aware that I "booked" this name to prevent this type of thing for this particular case and to let you know, that if you would need it, all you need to do is just ping me.

Have a great day.
