Security Issue: pigpio.zip Download URL Now Redirects to Malicious Content #4

Description

@aT0ngMu

In _WebArticles/website-wifi-controlled-led-strip-with-raspberry-pi.md, it references a malicious download url http://abyz.co.uk/rpi/pigpio/pigpio.zip.

The URL http://abyz.co.uk/rpi/pigpio/pigpio.zip was originally used to host the pigpio.zip dependency package. However, at the time of analysis, accessing this URL returns unrelated content, including pages containing adult and phishing material.

Impact
This behavior suggests that the domain or hosting resource is no longer controlled by the original maintainer. If this URL is still referenced in projects or build configurations, it may introduce supply chain risks. In particular, users attempting to download the dependency via this URL may be exposed to malicious or misleading content.

Evidence
Historical usage: the URL was referenced as a download location for pigpio.zip
Current behavior: the URL serves unrelated content, including adult/phishing pages
The content is inconsistent with the original purpose of hosting a development dependency

Recommendation
Please update the latest pigpio.zip download link: https://abyz.me.uk/rpi/pigpio/pigpio.zip.
