"It was unclear how long the leaked code had been online, but it appeared to have been public for at least several months."

Interesting. I wonder what the repo was called, I imagine it couldn't have been anything extremely obvious or we would have heard about this earlier.

It wasn't obliviously named at all. The toplevel folders were:

- adp

- ann

- auth

- aws-dal-reg-svc

The README.md file just said "PublicSpace"

And the breakdown of languages used is odd for twitter: - Scala 56.2%

- Java 27.3%

- Python 7.9%

- Starlark 4.7%

- Shell 2.4%

- Thrift 1.2%

- Other 0.3%

Either the cache entry has expired or (if "bingj.com" is associated with the Bing) I can easily imagine someone in Microsoft "helped" it along

Appears their user account was created on Jan 3, 2023, so unless it was somewhere else too, it's not exactly "several" months
