[!Caution]

Security Alert: Beware of Fake ImageGlass Downloads

Malicious campaigns are using AI tools to impersonate trusted software through fake GitHub profiles, forks, and Gists that spread malware. Download ImageGlass only from its official sources:

• Website: imageglass.org
• GitHub: github.com/d2phap/ImageGlass and the github.com/ImageGlass

Any other repo, fork, or Gist offering ImageGlass builds is not mine. Always check the URL before downloading.
