Combination of poor coding practices and Git-based system behaviour caused long-term secrets exposure of enterprises, health care organizations and open source projects
Aqua Security has revealed new research that shows how credentials, API tokens, and passkeys – collectively referred to as secrets – from organizations around the globe were exposed for years. By scanning the most popular 100 organizations on Github, which collectively includes more than 50,000 publicly accessible repositories, Aqua researchers found active secrets from open-source organizations and enterprises such as Cisco and Mozilla providing access to sensitive data and software. The exposed secrets could lead to significant financial losses, reputational damage, and legal consequences.

Israel had previously been taken by surprise on the 6th of October 1973 when a coalition of forces led by Egypt and Syria attacked Israel, thereby starting the Yom Kippur War. Who would have thought that Israelis would be caught napping again 50 years later, almost to the day?
