This is the best summary I could come up with:

An unknown hacker gained administrative control of Sourcegraph, an AI-driven service used by developers at Uber, Reddit, Dropbox, and other companies, and used it to provide free access to resources that normally would have required payment.

On August 30 (2023-08-30 13:25:54 UTC), the Sourcegraph security team identified the malicious site-admin user, revoked their access, and kicked off an internal investigation for both mitigation and next steps.”

The resource free-for-all generated a spike in calls to Sourcegraph programming interfaces, which are normally rate-limited for free accounts.

“The promise of free access to Sourcegraph API prompted many to create accounts and start using the proxy app,” Comas wrote.

Sourcegraph personnel eventually identified the surge in activity as “isolated and inorganic” and began investigating the cause.

The token gave users the ability to view, modify, or copy the exposed data, but Comas said the investigation didn’t conclude if that actually happened.
