Gitlab must have been thrilled about a bot cloning 5.6 million repo's in 24 hours. That doesn't really sound responsible to me.

The post keeps saying "verified secrets" - how are they verified? Did the author attempt to login to each service? Or does verified just means that it looks like a valid token?
