The malware steals GitHub/npm tokens, .ssh, .env, shell history, GitHub Actions and cloud secrets, then exfiltrates the data to private domains and as GitHub commits and doesn't seem to be targeting Bitwarden specifically, or user vaults. There's no evidence that end user vault data was accessed or at risk, or that production data or production systems were compromised, according to their official statement. It seems there were 334 bitwarden CLI downloads in this time period, some or many of which might have been from bots, so this is a higher bound to the number of affected users. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago (1 child) So if you use the phone app, or browser extension you are okay? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago yes permalink fedilink source parent
