GitHub's Internal Repos Breached Via Employee's Use of Malicious VS Code Extension

1 Share
Longtime Slashdot reader Himmy32 writes: GitHub has announced on X that their internal repositories have been breached through a compromised VS Code Extension on an employee's workstation. Bleeping Computer reported that the attack is linked to TeamPCP who have been in the news for a recent campaign affecting Checkmarx, Trivy, SAP, TanStack, and Bitwarden. The group appears to be attempting to sell the stolen code on cybercrime forums. "Yesterday we detected and contained a compromise of an employee device involving a poisoned VS Code extension. We removed the malicious extension version, isolated the endpoint, and began incident response immediately," the company said. "Our current assessment is that the activity involved exfiltration of GitHub-internal repositories only. The attacker's current claims of ~3,800 repositories are directionally consistent with our investigation so far." Although the investigation remains ongoing, GitHub says it has "no evidence of impact to customer information stored outside of GitHub's internal repositories." The company has also not said whether it's in contact with the hackers or if it's received a ransom demand.

"There's an app for that" was the promise of the App Store from the very beginning. The app that will get your phone to do the thing you want it to? It's just a few taps away. The tagline wasn't strictly true - I'm still waiting for that one perfect grocery list app. Still, apps shaped the modern smartphone into what it is today. We spend all day, every day inside of apps - scrolling, listening, and tapping until we find what we want. But your next favorite app might just be one that you made yourself.

If you weren't familiar with the concept of "vibe coding" at the beginning of 2026, you probably are now. As AI coding tools have become bet …

Just as the T1 Phone is seemingly on the verge of release, Trump Mobile has been accused of insecurely storing customer data, leaving addresses and phone numbers vulnerable. The alleged leak has also revealed how many T1 Phone orders were apparently placed, and it's far fewer than viral figures have claimed.

YouTuber Coffeezilla was the first to report the apparent leak on his second channel, voidzilla, having been tipped off by an anonymous person who discovered the "vulnerability" in the Trump Mobile website. The hacker says they're able to both place fake orders for the phone and "scrape and search the entire pre-order database," accessi …
