Description

## ⚠️ Warning: This project is being impersonated

An untrusted website at **[detectron2.org](https://detectron2.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
