Daily Cyber News: Meta repository breach exposes code and data tied to 1,500 people

The stolen material also included personal information linked to roughly one thousand five hundred people, most of them Meta employees in the United States. Meta said its internal systems were not breached, and it hasn’t identified the affected products.

Additional detail: The broader lesson is that one compromised developer identity can expose several forms of valuable information.
