> ### Security Alert: Fake Repositories and AI Threat Mitigation
> Automated malicious campaigns are actively deploying AI tools to impersonate trusted software. They stand up fake GitHub profiles and Gists designed to trick users into downloading compromised packages.
> - **Only use official channels**: Always download ImageGlass directly from the ([official website](https://imageglass.org)). Never download binaries from third-party mirrors, unverified GitHub forks, or standalone GitHub Gists.
> - **Verify the repo source:** The only authentic spaces for this project on GitHub are the official [d2phap/ImageGlass](https://github.com/d2phap/ImageGlass) repository and the [ImageGlass Organization](https://github.com/ImageGlass). Any other profile or fork promising 'portable patches', 'extended releases', or alternative mirrors is completely unauthorized and highly likely to contain malware.
> - **Check the URL**: Double-check your browser address bar to ensure you are not visiting a typosquatted domain.
