Oops. Someone committed secrets to a public repo. 🔐
While browsing a sample repository from a large payment provider, I noticed sensitive secrets had been accidentally committed to a public GitHub repo.
They later pushed a commit to remove them — but that’s not how Git works.
Once a secret is committed, it’s already part of history.
P.S. They've already revoked this ID and Key.
