Why do they notify tencent instead of the repo owner?
2 comments

Once a co-worker accidentally pushed an AWS key pair to his public dotfiles repo. About 30 seconds later AWS disabled the key and notified the account admin about the possibility of an account breach.
This is my question too… why not just let the owner of the repo know, why notify Tencent at all?

Instead of repeatedly having a question in an HN thread, next time try to read the source article.
