# GitGot: using GitHub repositories as exfiltration store | ||
|
||
ReversingLabs identified two npm packages, "warbeast2000" and "kodiak2k" which | ||
were designed to steal SSH keys from developers by exploiting GitHub | ||
repositories _as storage_. | ||
|
||
## Impact | ||
|
||
> Fortunately, the reach of this campaign was limited. ReversingLabs observed | ||
> different accounts publishing warbeast2000 and kodiak2k on npm. The | ||
> warbeast2000 package was downloaded a little less than 400 times, whereas the | ||
> kodiak2k was downloaded around 950 times. | ||
## Type of compromise | ||
|
||
- **Trust and Signing**: This means that in addition to leveraging implicit | ||
trust on `github.com` for pulls, attackers were using Personal Access Tokens | ||
(PATs) to leverage that implicit trust for exfiltration. | ||
