Secret scanning backfilling existing secrets in GitHub wikis

Secret scanning is now performing a backfill to detect historically existing secrets in GitHub wikis. For repositories with secret scanning enabled, you may notice newly created alerts for these exposed secrets.

Learn how to secure your repositories with secret scanning or sign up for a 60 minute feedback session on secret scanning and be compensated for your time.

You are also welcome to join the discussion and share your feedback on our dedicated Github community.
