700+ self-hosted Git instances battered in 0-day attacks

: More than half of internet-exposed instances already compromised

By ‘Git instances’ they mean Gogs instances that allow open registration. I know most of the community moved from Gogs to Gitea, and then to Forgejo, but thought this was still worth noting.

    To anyone afraid of the above conclusion, a dedicated $5 VPS with automatic snapshots get you a long way.

      if the server is compromised, all the data it stores is at risk of getting drleted or modified. so I don’t think a VPS really solves the problem.
