Our Commentary ​

This is absolutely horrifying. Unencrypted uploads of all local files, including .env and git history? That's a catastrophic failure of trust and security. And then to blame the developers? I genuinely don't know how a company recovers from something like this. We need to be incredibly vigilant about the tools we integrate into our workflows. This is a stark reminder that "convenience" can come at an unimaginable cost.
