Mintlify says customer GitHub tokens exposed in data breach


"The targets of this attack were GitHub tokens of our users," Mintlify's co-founder told TechCrunch about its data breach.

Documentation startup Mintlify says dozens of customers had GitHub tokens exposed in a data breach at the start of the month and publicly disclosed last week. In a blog post Monday, Mintlify blamed its March 1 incident on a vulnerability in its own systems, but said 91 of its customers had their GitHub tokens compromised as a result. “The users have been notified, and we’re working with GitHub to identify whether the tokens were used to access private repositories,” Mintlify co-founder Han Wang wrote in a blog post.
