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...

#RefRef - Denial of Service ( DDoS ) Tool Developed by Anonymous

Jul 30, 2011
#RefRef - Denial of Service ( DDoS ) Tool Developed by Anonymous Anonymous is developing a new DDoS tool which is said to exploit SQL vulnerabilities to support the group's future campaigns. So far, what they have is something that is platform neutral, leveraging JavaScript and vulnerabilities within SQL to create a devastating impact on the targeted website. Previously, Low Orbit Ion Canon (LOIC) was the go to weapon for Anonymous supporters during various Operations .However, LOIC is also the reason scores of people have been arrested in the last year, so many feel its time is at an end. According to Developer " RefRef is a revolutionary DoS java site. Basically, by using an SQL and .js vulnerability, you can send a page request packet from your home computer with embedded .js file, because of the vulnerability in the SQL/Javascript engine on MOST websites, the site actually TEMPs the .js file on its own server. So now the .js is in place on the host of the site. Next s...

Nicolas Sarkozy's official Elysee Palace website Hacked for 'Get Him Out' Game

Jul 29, 2011
Nicolas Sarkozy 's official Elysee Palace website Hacked for ' Get Him Out ' Game Hackers have attacked Nicolas Sarkozy's official Elysee Palace website to create a game video game called ' Get Him Out '. Under the formal banner introducing the site, a cartoon image of the French president was pictured on a go-kart heading towards the gates of the palace. For each click on a Facebook 'like' button beside the game, the French leader moved one step closer out into the street. The instructions to the game read: " The more you click, the faster we can get little Nicolas out! ". The Elysee palace confirmed a hacking attack had taken place on Tuesday night, but that the 'problem' had been fixed by 7am on Wednesday. A spokesman added: " The hackers took advantage of an old software system to temporarily re-route the welcome page.

Jul 29, 2011
South Korean social network hacked, 35 million users Data at risk 35 million users Personal information of a South Korean social network site may have been exposed. Local authorities were quick to blame hack attacks against the Cyworld social networking website and the Nate web portal – both of which are run by SK Telecom – on Chinese hackers.
