There's a few reasons I wouldn't worry too much: 1) Nation state level actors can probably insert or compromise high level staff, or multiple high level staff, at any given company, and perform MITM attacks fairly easily. And some could compel turning over your code or secrets more directly anyway. Not worth worrying about this scenario: nobody working on anything truly sensitive should be using any externally hosted (or even externally networked) repositories. 2) It is much more difficult for other actors to do a MITM attack, and if they did, they'd probably have access to your code more directly. 3) Your code actually isn't worth much to anybody else. Imagine someone launching a complete clone of HN or any other site. Who cares? Nobody. What makes your code valuable is that you have it, and that you have a network and relationship with your customers. If somebody stole my company's codebases, I'd feel sorry for them, that they are going to waste any time wading through these useless piles of shit. The only potential problems are if secrets or major vulnerabilities are exposed and provide a path for exploit (like ability to access servers, services, exposing potential ransomware attacks).
