"Threat Actor Claims to Leak 270GB of New York Times Data"

An anonymous threat actor has recently posted what they claim to be 270GB of source code stolen from the New York Times.  The alleged leak was first spotted by security researchers at vx-underground.  The researchers believe the actor targeted the New York Times’ GitHub account.  A statement from the New York Times clarified that a security incident occurred in January of this year when a credential to a “cloud-based third-party code platform” was “inadvertently made available.”  The company said it quickly spotted the suspicious activity and remediated the incident.  There is no indication of unauthorized access to Times-owned systems.
