Someone copied a gist of mine from 2011, changed my name and made a blogpost about it.
Let them be, no point in wasting time worrying about small fraudsters.
Cut them off and blacklist them so you will never have anything to do with them.
I recommend not to shame them publicly if you live in a country without freedom of speech (most of the world except from the USA) or they might have grounds for suing you for defamation (even if you are right and you can prove it).
Source: Someone scammed my landlord (and me) for tens of thousands and now he added me on LinkedIn. He's doing fine, probably doing some other real estate scams on top of some small BS companies that keep failing every 2-3 years (probably to avoid paying taxes). The police is not interested. The court case was dropped. Really tempted to out him online but lawyers don't recommend it. Justice is pretty weak in our times.
Sorry to hear that happen to you. I agree. I don't plan to escalate it. My current plan is to reach out to them and maybe report it to GitHub if ignored.
