The maintainer, riaevangelist, appears to be breaking federal hacking laws by including the "peacenotwar" malware. They falsely claim it only shows a message on the users desktop, however if actually recursively overwrites the users files.

The maintainer has taken to banning anyone pointing this out. I don't believe this is someone with good intentions. Riaevangelist may have had their account stolen. Either way they are clearly operating in support of Russia under a false flag, an increasingly common and complex issue.

Given the supposed criminal nature of these acts GitHub and other serves must step in to remove the offending commits, releases, and maintainers. Allow someone else to fork it.
