An employee’s personal GitHub repository can act like a ticking timebomb, and could also lead to exposing the company’s secrets to the world. As per a report from Aqua Nautilus, a security research team at Aqua Security, employees using personal GitHub repositories for side projects, mainly at Microsoft Azure, Tigera, and Red Hat, are unknowingly exposing corporate secrets and credentials to threat actors.  Believe it or not, personal repositories on GitHub can become corporate nightmares, as employees may use them to store or share work-related code, bypassing company security protocols.
