This article is not very information rich, but one thing is clear: this is not a github leak, the code was just posted to github by whoever got access to it. So the headline is pretty misleading.
- icedchai 8y agoOkay. So the code was "leaked" on Github. How is the headline misleading?
- torstenvl 8y agoThe headline is misleading because it implies the source code was already on GitHub. If the source was not already on GitHub, then a "GitHub Leak" of that source could not possibly be caused by a software error.
- icedchai 8y agoIt doesn't imply that to me.
- _r_o_y_ 8y agoJust by reading the title my first though was somehow a iOS update caused a bug in GitHub that led to the source code leaking.
- asdkhadsj 8y agoI figured the iOS bug somehow leaked credentials that gave access to GitHub. Regardless, many of us agree that the title suggests GitHub as a central role to the leak. If, as other commenters say, it was just used as a file host.. it doesn't belong in the title imo. It's just there to pull in more views. It may as well been Piratebay.
- jehlakj 8y agoThe fact that it’s ambiguous is itself misleading. Typical headlines.
- geoah 8y agoCause probably many people (including me) assumed that "Github leak caused by bad ios" was the reason why snapchat's code was leaked.
- zamadatix 8y agoGithub has private repos for customers. When I first read the title I assumed it had something to do with breaking into one of those.
