That's not "a tiny glitch". What you described is "GitHub may show your private repo to strangers randomly" which is a even more serious issue than they appearing in an archive some time later.

Right: exposing private source code in this way is a showstopper bug for GitHub, and a major scandal if they've been covering it up.

A lot of companies pay GitHub a LOT of money to securely host their code. A breach like this is a way bigger story than just another "AI is training on your data!" thing.

I continue to doubt that private repos being exposed like this actually happened here.
