Several relevant factors are evaluated for clues to determine if a fork is anomalous. These are some of them:
-
The user account creation is too recent.
-
The user doesn’t have any activity.
-
The user doesn’t have any recent activity.
Impact
A repository fork from an unusual user may indicate the start of the preparation stage for subsequent malicious actions, and it could increase the risk of security breaches, intellectual property theft, compliance violations and reputation damage.
