If the recent Grafana Labs GitHub token incident caught your attention, it should.
A compromised GitHub token is not just a source code problem. For many DevOps and platform teams, GitHub is where infrastructure is defined, workflows are triggered, deployments are approved, and cloud changes are controlled.
Terraform files. GitHub Actions workflows. Branch protection rules. Repository permissions. Deployment environments. Webhooks. GitHub App integrations.
They all sit inside or around GitHub.
So when a GitHub environment is compromised, deleted, misconfigured, or held hostage, restoring the repository is only step one.
