Daily Cyber News: Malicious GitHub workflows turn developer access into cloud exposure
Stolen developer access is being used to place credential-stealing automation inside public repositories.

The workflows sought cloud keys, S S H credentials, registry logins, database passwords, and platform tokens.
Key context: For leaders, one compromised developer identity can expose build systems, cloud accounts, package registries, and downstream environments.
Additional detail: The larger lesson is that software delivery security depends on identity control, workflow review, and rapid secret rotation.
