Git got hacked 💀

What happened exactly👇

GitHub just got hacked.💀

Not a random user's account. Not some third-party tool.🤯

GitHub itself. The platform that holds the world's code.🌎

3,800 internal repositories. Gone.🫨

How did it happen?🤔

One employee downloaded a VS Code extension. That's it.🥲

One plugin. Game over.💀

The group behind it - TeamPCP - has now hit Bitwarden, TanStack, Mistral Al, and GitHub all in 2026. All through developer tooling. The extensions you install without thinking twice.

And they're bragging about it on hacker forums, selling the stolen code - including GitHub Copilot's source - for $50,000.

The irony? The platform built to keep your code safe couldn't keep its own safe.

Here's what every developer needs to hear right now:i

Your dev environment is the new attack surface. Not your passwords. Not your servers. The tools sitting quietly in your editor.Audit your VS Code extensions today. Remove anything you don't recognize or haven't used in months.

This is not optional anymore.

The investigation is still ongoing. Nobody knows the full damage yet.

But one thing is already clear - the biggest security threat to developers in 2026 isn't a firewall breach.

It's a plugin you installed in 30 seconds and forgot about.
