Very curious to know more about this. What exactly are you talking about? Closest thing I could find is this[0], but you said "couple of years ago".

- ionwake 5y agoNo, not that. Another kid, got access to every single private github repo. It was on hackernews, he declared it, made a write up about it and got given a pretty small bounty from github. Google it, otherwise I guess the net was scrubbed of it. I follow him on twitter but yeah just google more and you should find out all about it. I was always surprised it wasn't a much bigger deal. Basically since then I think any company ( most that I work for ) are clinically insane to upload their proprietary code to the site. On a related note - was it not just a couple of weeks ago people were concerned the codespaces system is using other peoples proprietary code? ( I havent kept up to that on that one so not sure if its still an issue)
