GitHub breach traced to poisoned VS Code extension

GitHub says a recent breach of its internal data stemmed from a staff member downloading a “poisoned” VS Code extension.

Crypto sleuth ZachXBT first spotted the “likely” $10M THORChain exploit and crypto security analysts later confirmed the incident.

Tuesday saw four separate hacks, with over $5M stolen. Two more incidents took place the day before, but with minimal losses.
