Recent reports indicate that deleted and private repository data on GitHub may still be accessible, raising significant security concerns for users of the platform. Security researcher Trufflesec has identified multiple methods to access this data, suggesting that what is labeled as 'deleted' may not be entirely removed from the system. This vulnerability has prompted warnings from experts, emphasizing the difference between systems functioning 'as designed' versus 'as expected.' As a result, there is an expectation of potential significant breaches involving sensitive information stored in these repositories.
