The New York Times has confirmed that its source code and assets were dumped online via 4chan after an accidental leak of a credential to a code-hosting platform. The breach occurred when internal source code and data were stolen through an exposed GitHub token and posted on 4chan. The Times is notifying victims, including freelance visual contributors, but no indications suggest the breach extended to full-time newsroom staff or other contributors.
