A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is just the new version of leaked AWS access/secret keys.. bad guys dredge through any place a token could be disclosed (GitHub project, public log file, etc) and build a database of them for sale.. pretty bad given chat history is retained and available via API. Article points out the potential of information disclosure, which seems pretty significant..
