In a groundbreaking revelation, a cybersecurity company has unearthed that organizations, including those guarding your nation’s secrets and your grandma’s phone number, have been using online tools like JSONFormatter and CodeBeautify as their personal diary. Apparently, developers thought ‘paste it in the cloud’ was hacker-speak for ‘secure safe storage.’
This shocking behavior comes from sectors ranging from government offices to telecoms, proving once again that if there’s a virtual carpet, someone will definitely sweep their sensitive data under it. Nothing screams ‘professional’ like pasting your company’s API keys into a public forum, where the only thing not indexed by Google is your taste in cat memes.
A spokesperson for the affected organizations reassured the public, stating, ‘We regret the exposure of such critical data but on the bright side, we hear these sites now have the best random password generators ever!’ Meanwhile, developers are now reportedly on the lookout for websites that can promise not to accidentally dumpster dive their secrets.
