New, by me: CISA Admin Leaked AWS GovCloud Keys on GitHub
Until this past weekend, a contractor for the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) maintained a public GitHub repository that exposed credentials to several highly privileged AWS GovCloud accounts and a large number of internal CISA systems. Security experts said the public archive included files detailing how CISA builds, tests and deploys software internally, and that it represents one of the most egregious government data leaks in recent history.

@briankrebs That sounds pretty bad, sure- but remember, whomever is left over there has the most important thing, which is loyalty.

@briankrebs I shouldn't be laughing.
Workspace is misspelled.
Important tokens, as opposed to the unimportant ones.

@briankrebs Are you seriously telling me that somebody stored AWS govcloud secrets in a github repo ? In a file called "Important AWS Tokens" ? Do they not know who github is ? Is it intentional ?
Has that person been fired into the sun yet, along with whoever hired them ?

Was the miscreant who stored high-security US government info on a github repo a Musk DOGE bro, by any chance?
Asking for the schadenfreude. -

It's possible this set of instructions by the CISA contractor might have caused all the trouble:

@briankrebs The White House got mad at that other Krebs guy for "censorship" at CISA. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/addressing-risks-from-chris-krebs-and-government-censorship/ I guess he was censoring the keys then?
