Or they just wanted to prove a point.

They surely seemed to be smart enough to choose encryption over encoding.

Hard to believe encryption would be the one thing that would trigger code scanners.

Also it’s not just every vendor, also every bad actor could’ve scraped the keys. I wonder if they’ve set up the infrastructure to handle all these thousands of keys…

Like what do you even do with most of it on scale?

Can you turn Cloud, AWS , AI api keys to money on a black market?
