GitHub’s secret scanning alerts now available for all public repos

GitHub has announced that its secret scanning alerts service is now generally available to all public repositories and can be enabled to detect leaked secrets across an entire publishing history.

Secrets are sensitive data accidentally added to GitHub repositories, including API keys, account passwords, authentication tokens, and other confidential data that can enable attackers to perform security breaches or gain access to non-public data.

Threat actors commonly search public GitHub repositories for authentication secrets to breach networks, steal data, or impersonate the company in their own attacks.
