"textContent": "submitted by peternovakdev to programming\n31 points | 7 comments\nhttps://codatus.com/blog/we-leaked-75-aws-keys-to-see-who-watches-public-repos/\n\nLive AWS keys in 75 throwaway repos, each made public for one of five windows from 60 seconds to 12 hours, every use logged. The keys were tripwires; the real question was who notices a private repo going public, and what they do once they’re in.\n\nThe most useful finding is the dull one: re-hiding the repo does nothing. One busy harvester kept re-validating the captured keys for a day after the repos went private again. Only rotating the key stops it.\n\nThis came out of building a monitor for exactly these repo-setting changes.",
