New, by me: CISA Admin Leaked AWS GovCloud Keys on GitHub
-
@briankrebs dying to know how that person was selected
@Viss @briankrebs they probably get a lot done very quickly
-
It's possible this set of instructions by the CISA contractor might have caused all the trouble:
@briankrebs Yes and disabling the warnings and pushing creds in plain text to repos and having it public and having all of them in one repo and then it's for CISA... that is as FUBAR as it can get.

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 because i actually reached out to cisa in the past, asking how to work for them. they told me the only way to do it was unpaid, and condesendingly told me i should do it 'because i love my country'. many others were getting paid. so, needless to say, theres a little club, and im not in it.
but this guy was.
so i reeeeeally wanna know -

@krypt3ia @briankrebs which is ironic, because ive talked to almost half a dozen shops who cisa was paying as their outsourced assessment teams, but when i asked to be one of those they told me to fuck off, then 'how dare you'd me because i asked to be paid for my work. i have all the receipts. made sure to keep those emails tagged.

@briankrebs “Currently, there is no indication that any sEnSiTIVe datA was compromised as a result of this incident,” the CISA spokesperson wrote. "I mean, of course, sensitive data was exposed, but not sEnSiTIVe datA."

@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 ?
At some point its intentional. When you have that type of access it should be assumed it is.

CISA should know better than to use Cloud. AWS in particular. SMH.

One more Nightwing LinkedIn post, from three days ago.
#definingtheedge | Nightwing
Cyber threats in the space domain aren’t theoretical, they’re persistent, asymmetric, and accelerating. From ground infrastructure to on-orbit systems, Nightwing helps uncover critical vulnerabilities before adversaries can exploit them, strengthening the resilience of the architectures our national security depends on. That’s why we’re proud to have sponsored Tectonic and Payload's Inside the Dome this week. Bringing together leaders across government and industry it’s clear that cyber resiliency isn’t optional – it’s foundational to every space mission.

@jab01701mid @briankrebs isn't the real wtf storing secrets in a git repo, let alone pushing it to github?

@GerardThornley @briankrebs I guess you have to store secrets somewhere, in your source or CI/CD pipeline playbook. I hope people are not checking in private keys, or the CEO's email password.
But govcloud IIRC is basically AWS but "secure for fedramp". Then using "github" for your source control is like the Manhattan Project keeping their notebooks in the local college library, but in a locked room.
