Hackers Claim Access to 4,000 GitHub Repositories, Demand $50,000

Hackers from TeamPCP have reportedly accessed source code from approximately 4,000 private repositories on GitHub, according to Foresight News. The group is allegedly selling the data on an underground forum for $50,000, with sample verification available. If no buyers emerge, the hackers may release the data for free. GitHub has confirmed it is investigating the unauthorized access, which is suspected to have occurred through malicious VS Code or AI Coding plugins installed on employee devices.
