Crypto Platform Bitrefill Hacked: 18,500 User Records Exposed in Cyberattack

A hacking group called TeamPCP says it breached internal systems at GitHub and stole data linked to nearly 4,000 private repositories, including alleged source code and internal company files. The group is reportedly trying to sell the data on cybercrime forums for over $50,000. GitHub has confirmed it is investigating unauthorized access to some internal repositories. The incident matters because exposed repositories could contain sensitive code, credentials, or API keys. Developers are being advised to immediately review repositories and rotate any exposed keys or access tokens.
