Full breach record for GITHUB INC

Press / market disclosure — not a breach-notification filing

A media or market posting that confirms an incident but carries no breach-notification fields, so compliance clocks aren't assessable. The summary below is extracted from the coverage and machine-translated to English — verify against the source.

Summary

machine-translated

GitHub, 3,800 internal repositories stolen incident investigation launched (GITHUB, VS Code, malicious extension, cyberattack). GitHub: On May 20, GitHub published the results of its investigation into an intrusion into its internal repositories, resulting from an attack conducted using a malicious Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension. This attack targeted an employee's devices the day before, and GitHub took measures to remove the malicious version of the extension and isolate the affected terminals. The investigation revealed that approximately 3,800 repositories had been compromised, matching the scale claimed by the attacker, TeamPCP. To mitigate security risks, GitHub rotated critical security keys starting on May 19 and plans to continue analyzing system logs and monitoring in the future.
