Red Hat Hacked: Crimson Collective Crashes the Code Party with 570GB Data Heist!
The Crimson Collective claims to have breached Red Hat’s private GitHub, exfiltrating 570GB of data, including customer documents. The group posted on Telegram, detailing their access to internal repos and Customer Engagement Reports. Red Hat remains silent on the alleged breach, leaving customers on edge and back-office teams seeing red.
Hot Take:
Looks like Red Hat’s “Open” approach just got a bit too open for comfort. The Crimson Collective has taken “breaking and entering” to a whole new level, and now Red Hat might need a bigger hat to cover this data spill. Maybe they should’ve invested in a “Red Stop” button instead!
Key Points:
- The Crimson Collective claims to have hacked Red Hat’s private GitHub repositories, exfiltrating 570GB of data.
- The data includes 28,000 internal repositories and sensitive Customer Engagement Reports (CERs).
- Attackers also allegedly found and exploited authentication tokens, compromising downstream clients.
- Red Hat has yet to confirm the breach or notify customers of potential data exposure.
- This incident compounds Red Hat’s existing security woes, including a critical bug in its OpenShift AI platform.
