did they find any problems? The post doesn't say...
- ethomson 12y agoVicent Marti (from GitHub) states: "In case it's not obvious from the post: There are no malicious repos in @github and they can't be pushed anymore. Update your Git anyway." https://twitter.com/vmg/status/545693913491984385 https://twitter.com/vmg/status/545693913491984385
- mikeash 12y agoWhich still doesn't say! That says there aren't any, but is silent on whether there were any. It's probably safe to assume that this is just clumsy wording and he meant to say that the scan found nothing, but it could also be a careful attempt at trying to sound like it says more than it really does.
- peff 12y agoWe found 10 repositories which would have been blocked on push with the new restrictions. None of them were found to be malicious.
- ImJasonH 12y agoDo those 10 repos include private repos? What is GitHub's policy about scanning/inspecting private repos in cases like this?
