Over 10,000 Docker Hub container images were found leaking secrets including production API keys, cloud tokens, CI/CD credentials, and AI model access tokens in public repositories. Non-human identities (tokens, API keys, service accounts, workload identities) are machine-to-machine credentials that authenticate applications and services continuously with broad privileges and indefinite lifespans, unlike human users who use passwords and MFA. The Snowflake breach affected 165 organizations through UNC5537 threat actors using exposed credentials from infostealer malware dumps. Home Depot experienced a year-long exposure via a single leaked GitHub access token granting read/write access to hundreds of private repositories and connected cloud infrastructure. Red Hat GitLab instance was compromised by Crimson Collective, exfiltrating thousands of private repositories containing embedded credentials, tokens, and database URIs.
