"Employee posted his credentials into public repository", wondering what reason would have provoked him to do that in first place?

Because Jira is so bad

It’s part of the danger of having a public “dotfiles” repository. It’s very easy to check in your .zshrc, only to discover that some script added an ENV var that contains a secret. Alternatively, the employee could have checked in a script that contained some secrets.

Thats why you use precommit hooks with secrets scan.

Maltitude of those.

> This data includes the names, email addresses, work departments and phone numbers of approximately 13,200 Atlassian employees, along with floor plans of Atlassian offices located in San Francisco and Sydney, Australia.

Atlassian has 13k employees? Mind blown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlassian says 9k though. Mind still blown.

Would probably make more sense if it included current + former.

Probably rest are contractors/vendor workers ?

The last time I saw Techcrunch mentioned is when they wrote an article attacking Mr Beast for being an ableist for doing 1000 free cataract surgeries mentioned on the All In Podcast. Till then I had assumed that Verizon had shut it down. I guess it still exists and they still have readers.
