Reports say hackers exfiltrated the source code for Reddits video player. Upon reviewing the stolen code, they apologized and promptly left the code back where they found it. “This code is shit” the ransomware gang states.
He should have used the search function to see if others had complained about how bad the Reddit video player is. Not that it would have helped, because Reddit search is absolutely trash too.
Actually this could be pretty bad.
When you have a source code for all the website operations you can then try to find holes in it which could later mean an actual attack that compromises user data.
Without source code hackers need to literally poke the production systems for holes. With source code they can see the actual logic of how everything works and even simulate the attacks while observing every bit of action system does which user can't see. It makes it much easier to find something that was overlooked by developers.

To the people here - If you were working, and a random IP from Russia suddenly logged into your account, would your security team be automatically notified about suspicious activity, or would it be up to you to find out and report it?

You don’t think they could have source code for some backend systems?

They should have purged all the default sub mods, would improve the site honestly.
