Zynga hacker, Ashley Mitchell jailed for two years ! British bloke Ashley Mitchell, 29, has been jailed for two years after stealing some 400 billion virtual gaming chips gaming company Zynga. Mitchell hacked his way into Zynga's back-end systems by pinching the identities of two Zynga employees and filleted the swag, some of which he managed to flog on Facebook and some he used to gamble his nights away playing online poker. Mitchell, of Paignton, Devon pleaded guilty to hacking the servers and pinching the chips, which were estimated to be worth around £7.4 million in real money. He flogged around a third of his ill-gotten gains for £53,612. James Taghdissian, prosecuting, told the court that Zynga realised in August 2009 that its chips were disappearing and suspicion fell on two employees.

The Unusual Suspect: Git Repos

The Unusual Suspect: Git Repos

Jul 14, 2025Secrets Management / SaaS Security
While phishing and ransomware dominate headlines, another critical risk quietly persists across most enterprises: exposed Git repositories leaking sensitive data. A risk that silently creates shadow access into core systems Git is the backbone of modern software development, hosting millions of repositories and serving thousands of organizations worldwide. Yet, amid the daily hustle of shipping code, developers may inadvertently leave behind API keys, tokens, or passwords in configuration files and code files, effectively handing attackers the keys to the kingdom. This isn't just about poor hygiene; it's a systemic and growing supply chain risk. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, so do compliance requirements. Security frameworks like NIS2, SOC2, and ISO 27001 now demand proof that software delivery pipelines are hardened and third-party risk is controlled. The message is clear: securing your Git repositories is no longer optional, it's essential. Below, we look at the ris...

On our yesterday post about  Tumblr security flaw : server IPS, API keys, passwords, etc were leaked , Finally Tumblr official staff gives a statement to all their users as below : A human error caused some sensitive server configuration information to be exposed this morning.

We're triple checking everything and bringing in outside auditors to confirm, but we have no reason to believe that anything was compromised.  We're certain that none of your personal information (passwords, etc.) was exposed, and your blog is backed up and safe as always.  This was an embarrassing error, but something we were prepared for. The fact that this occurred at all is still unacceptable, and we'll be seriously evaluating and adjusting our processes to ensure an error like this can never happen again. ...

Update : Tumblr security flaw, Clarification by Tumblr official staff ! : The Hacker News ~ https://www.thehackernews.com/2011/03/tumblr-security-flaw-clarification-by.html There is a possible security issue with Tumblr. Basically a lot of confidential information, including server IPS, API keys, passwords, etc were leaked. There are some of the stuff that got disclosed: Database::set_defaults(array(  'user' => 'tumblr3′, 'password' => 'm3MpH1C0Koh39….55Z8YWStbgTmcgQWJvFt4′,  .. define('MEMCACHE_HOST', '10.252.0.68′); define('MEMCACHE_VERSION_HOST', ' 10.252.0.67 '); Database::add('primary', array('host' =>  '192.168.200.142 ')); .. We redacted a bit to protect the innocent, but anyone can find it on Google. So what is going on? Did they got hacked somehow? We don't think so… By looking at the disclosed data dump, it looks like one of their developers make a little mistake: i?php require_once('chorus/Utils.php'); Can you see it above?
