GitHub has been hacked with source code up for sale for R1.6 million

Code sharing platform GitHub, which has over 150 million registered developers worldwide, announced on Wednesday that an unauthorised actor had gained access to its internal systems.

A threat actor known as TeamPCP claimed responsibility for the incident and listed GitHub's source code for sale, along with around 4,000 code repositories, at a starting price of $50,000 (R835,635).

Given that they ask for relatively little money I can only assume they haven't really cracked any hot repositories. This just seems like blackmail with extra steps -- e.g. have github pay more than anybody else....
