"Report: Microsoft’s GitHub Account Gets Hacked"

Hackers from a group called Shiny Hunters have claimed to have stolen 500 GB of data from Microsoft's GitHub account.  The information stolen does not seem to include any sensitive or critical information.  The hacking group planned to sell the data at first, but then later posted it onto a hacker forum for users to gain access to the information for free. Security researchers have discovered that most of the data published were code samples, eBooks, and test projects.
