+# This workflow previously existed and was compromised. This placeholder file

+# This prevents anyone from:
+# 1. Using a cached/previous version of a workflow with this name
+# 2. Re-creating a malicious workflow using this known-compromised name
+#
+# If you need to create a similar workflow, please use a
+# different name
