Description
## ⚠️ Warning: This project is being impersonated
An untrusted website at **[bertopic.org](https://bertopic.org)** is impersonating this project. The site poses as an official resource. While it currently links to GitHub for downloads, **the site operator can replace these links with malicious files at any moment** without warning.
### What the site does
- Copies the project name, description, and branding to appear legitimate
- Currently links to GitHub downloads, but these links are **under the site operator's control and can be swapped out at any time**
- May collect user data or serve tampered downloads in the future
### How this was discovered
This domain was found as part of a broader investigation into a network of impersonation sites targeting open-source projects. Many of these sites share the same infrastructure and template.
