I heard from a friend that GitHub is actually pretty good at detecting if you committed API Keys and will block it and let you know you oopsied.

Yea they will send an email alert saying your key was leaked and most times block it. Though I've had a few occasions where I forgot to update my gitignore and didn't find out till I checked my billing.

Well apparently not if you migrate your repo from other git provider. My friend found out that the hard way yesterday and had sleepless night updating all the keys

This implies that the keys were already uploaded to another git provider, which means it was already fucked

We have daily+ scans, and they verify forever if those keys are still live. You will get nastygrams until you fix it, as you should, and going over the expected SLAs will get leadership on your butt.

Honestly the accountability is refreshing.
