"A GitHub search reveals that at least 392 GitHub repositories have been ransomed, so far."

That is a lot of pwned repos. I wonder why GitHub hasn't sorted this out yet.



Search results don't include private repos.

Wonder how many of those got hit.

Lots of security people will be up tonight reviewing logs.


Good point, we have no idea how many private repos have been compromised and I assume people won't come forward either.

The messed up part is that the repos are probably worth waaaay more than the ransom, especially if the companies are making money.

I wonder how many security people will be walking out the door TBH.
