    The title is very click bait imo. It is not about any private data. It is a very specific case of deleted fork of the public repository. It is a bug, of course. But it doesn’t look so serious as I was thinking when saw the title.

      It was purposefully designed that way so it’s not a bug. It’s just bad design. Like they say at the end of the article, people view private vs public as a security boundary. So it’s incredibly surprising and unintuitive behavior that has clearly resulted in security breaches.
