- billconan 7y agoI do not have local clones of my old projects.
- facorreia 7y agoNo, replication is not backup.
- ph4 7y agoThe attacker is also threatening to make these private repos public, or misuse their access to the repos in other ways (likely additional types of breaches).
- duxup 7y agoFor some repositories the code may be of little concern if the hacker shares it with the world or deletes it.... but it could impact some users.
