Hey all, I created Gistsecrets.io and use it pretty regularly to alert people when they&#x27;ve checked in plaintext passwords on Gists.<p>All the app does is scrape the public Gists feed every few seconds and looks for the word &quot;secret&quot; or &quot;password&quot;. It has a lot of false positives but I&#x27;ve found a few legit usernames&#x2F;passwords checked in. It&#x27;s a fun thing to browse at work when I have downtime.<p>If you don&#x27;t know what a Gist is, you can read more about them here [1], they&#x27;re essentially mini-git repos to quickly share code.<p>I&#x27;d love any feedback.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.github.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;github&#x2F;writing-on-github&#x2F;creating-gists" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.github.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;github&#x2F;writing-on-github&#x2F;creating...</a>
