Could this not lead to a penalty on the github account used to post it?
- bigfatkitten 9mo agoNo, because people push their own keys to source repos every day.
- lanfeust6 9mo agoIncluding keys associated with nefarious acts?
- edoceo 9mo agoMaybe, the point is that people, in general, commit/post all kinds of secrets they shouldn't into GitHub. Secrets they own, shared secrets, secrets they found, secrets they don't known, etc. GitHub and their partners just see a secret and trigger the oops-a-wild-secret-has-appeared action.
