Subject: Git ransom campaign incident report - May 2019
Date: Wed, 15 May 2019 13:49:11 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACPiFCJdXsrywra8qPU3ebiiGQP3YPC6g-_Eohbfwu_bQgfyVg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Spotted this on the internet...

https://github.blog/2019-05-14-git-ransom-campaign-incident-report/

Haven't hacked on git for a while, and I am not affiliated with any of
the stakeholders. However, reading it, I wanted to slam my head on the
desk.

IIRC, git will sanely store a password elsewhere if it gets to prompt
for it. Should we be trying to unpack usernames/passwords from HTTP
urls, and DTRT with them?

Are there other ways this could be made better?

cheers,


martin
