Warning: Your Code Repositories Are a Hacker’s Treasure Map!
Spotted some unusual requests on my honeypot for code repositories. Remember, when deploying a repository to your website, don’t share your secret sauce, unless you want your secrets to end up in someone else’s soup!
Hot Take:
Didier Stevens just discovered that the internet has a new hobby: poking around in your digital junk drawer! Turns out, everyone’s nosy neighbor now sneaks a peek at your repositories, hoping to find some juicy secrets. So, unless you want to be the next hot topic at the cyber block party, better lock up those credentials tighter than Fort Knox!
Key Points:
- Cyber burglars are targeting repositories for sensitive information.
- Requests were detected for Git and GitHub directories on a honeypot.
- Common targets include Git logs, GitHub actions, and AWS credentials.
- Developers are advised to secure online repositories more rigorously.
- Avoid publishing sensitive data when deploying repositories online.
