It seems that some sources take the phrase "source code leak" too literally - as in, the entire 270GB is just _source code_, that's of course wrong. Also, some even haven't noticed that the leak isn't just their source code repositories, it's actually repositories with the entire Git history (.git subfolder), which does seem to end at late January for some of the bigger repos, making the date quite accurate.

Another thing to note is that apparently multiple repositories have private information like addresses or phone numbers.

As for the leak itself, download at your own discretion, but from the looks of it they're just harmless tar archives of repositories: https://files.catbox.moe/ez1ncr.txt
