Was going to ask what's the data, but<p>> Compromised Data: Source Codes, CI/CD Pipelines, API Tokens, Access Tokens, Confidential Documents, Configuration Files, Terraform Files, SQL Files, Hardcoded Credentials and more!<p>Yeah, right. No wonder nobody bothered to buy and take a look. More of an insult to ESA, than a "data breach".
I'm old enough to remember being told not to put any personal information on the internet. Pretty soon, personal information will be mandatory to use the Internet. How ironic.

Pay them a one-way ticket into space.
Shouldn't this data be public anyway?
More or less. Unless it's something to do with the employee's privacy or something to that effect. Doesn't mean the criminals are the good guys here, since they're trying to make bank on it instead of releasing it to the public -- if it's something that the public has an interest in.
No, not really. The science products eventually become public (after 1st access right by contributing nations). But why would the API keys (for instance) ever be public?
Terraform files? Seems waste of time to have to make it public.
