Secrets exposed in .env files

Hello Websites that expose secrets on its own?

This is probably one very interesting article we’re going to get in to.

Apparently, there are secrets stored in a file called an ENV file. Its an environment based file.

Apparently usernames, passwords, things to do with payments and more can be stored in these files.

Apparently, these files have been made public on the Internet and they probably should not be, especially with all of the secrets that are stored.

If anyone thinks we should have this as a topic, I’d love for you to read the article and let me know what you think.

The article is titled Websites exposing over a million secrets, leaving visitors at risk and I’d be interested in whether we should have this as a topic.

According to this article, the United States is the most vulnerable with this issue.

Let’s say you. The boards await you!
