I can see you are bamboozled. But you should have seen the writing on the wall for CircleCI for quite some time now.

Agreed, how was I supposed to know that Circle CI would lose all the secret keys? I mean I always knew it was a possibility and our team planned for it...but what are you actually talking about?
I'm curious what indicators you have that this would have been the case. This is not a comment made in snark; I'm genuinely curious, as a CircleCI user who did not see the writing on the wall.
Can elaborate where would I have seen the writing for this? What indicators did you see?
Layoffs and outages at Circle. software supply chain attacks becoming more and more popular.
Outages at CircleCI have been common since the service has been launched.

Amazon is about to lay off 18k people. Circle isn't in a unique position to my understanding. Did CircleCI lay off some group or set of really important and key personnel?

Software supply chain attacks affect everyone. Is there some way that Circle is more vulnerable to this type of attack?

I would imagine GitHub Actions and always maturing CI tooling baked into cloud providers are rapidly eroding the market share of dedicated services like CircleCI.
