You don't need to hack Yandex. The entire monorepostory is synced on every intern's laptop, and you can do whatever your want with the files. I always wondered how it hasn't been leaked before to be honest.

If they're still using Subversion, why would that be? Subversion lets you check out just part of a repo. (Then again, interns, I guess.)

1. Subversion lets you configure granular permissions.

2. Subversion lets you check out portions of your repository.

3. Subversion working copy does not have all regions history. Just a snapshot of the checked out revision.

So at least Subversion would have allowed them to limit the amount of leaked data + no revision history leaked.

They don't. SVN is an option, but the vast majority use in-house VCS called Arc.

my cards for the source on the leak are more on dissent than outside party infiltrating. If you were brought up on working in open source the last 20-30 years with contributors from all over the world, getting into the friend/foe mindset is much harder.
