Someone is hacking the hackers
Is it just me, or has the number of large hacks on “things you’d expect to be at least somewhat secure” picked up since the pandemic started? It seems like every week now there’s a source-code leak for some high-profile project.My own assumption so far is that credentials that were previously being passed along through (essentially) in-person key-exchange parties, have now been forced to be passed along over channels like email/Slack/etc., making the ability to spin “mail/chat server admin creds” into “general system-level elevated creds” a lot more frequent.
