US Cybersecurity Agency Contractor Exposed AWS Credentials on GitHub

A contractor working for the US Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) accidentally left a public GitHub repository containing sensitive AWS GovCloud credentials and internal CISA system details. The exposed repository included files revealing how CISA develops, tests, and deploys software. Security experts have called this one of the most serious government data leaks in recent times. The repository remained publicly accessible until recently when it was discovered and removed. This incident highlights the risks of credential exposure on public platforms and the importance of proper access control management in government agencies. Source: BleepingComputer.
