About 50 companies have source code leaked, including prominent companies such as Disney, Nintendo, Microsoft, Adobe, Lenovo, Qualcomm, AMD, and Motorola. You can check the list of companies affected by the leak from the image below.



These source codes were collected by Mr. Tillie Kottmann , an IT consultant engineer. It seems that some of the source code Kottmann obtained by himself through misconfiguration of DevOps tools, etc., and the source code obtained from another source are included.

Regarding the publicly available source code, Kottmann said, 'We will delete important information such as credentials' and make it clear that the company will respond to requests for deletion. In fact, the folders of Daimler and Lenovo under Mercedes-Benz in 'Confidential and Proprietary' are empty, and it is considered that Mr. Kottmann has responded to the deletion request. 'We are happy to provide information that enhances the security of your company's infrastructure,' Kottmann said.

Kottmann has released his privately-sourced code because there are other companies with improperly configured DevOps tools and improperly installed SonarQube , which is used for program quality control. He points out that there are thousands of companies.

The source code released by 'Confidential and Proprietary' is believed to be related to the Nintendo code leak called 'Gigaleak' that has been a hot topic since July 26, 2020. 'Gigaleak' reveals that Luigi was included as a playable character in the Super Mario 64 source code.
