If such a massive scale breach would happen, it would probably have to take weeks because GitHub probably has so much data. (I would guess on the order of hundreds of TB or a few PB).
It would be more likely to just have handful of high visibility repos.
- mrks_ 11y agoYou're probably right. It's unlikely that a hacker would care about my private repos. That being said, I'm also curious about GitHub's efforts to prevent such a scenario.
- stingraycharles 11y agoWhich makes me wonder: how would one prevent such a scenario, where you cannot simply encrypt with a shared key given github's auth model ?
