This Chaotic Eclipse/Nightmare Eclipse is the same one whose opening post read:

I never wanted to reopen a blog and a new github account to drop code...

But someone violated our agreement and left me homeless with nothing. They knew this will happen and they still stabbed me in the back anyways, this is their decision not mine.

I'm guessing there's plenty more to come.

Kinda funny that they're targeting Microsoft and yet using GitHub to share the PoCs.

This is the part I don't get either. Although - maybe it is because it protects other platforms from legal action by microSLOP? Also, it adds to the Streisand effect should microSLOP remove the proof of concept from its own platform.
