Security by Pull Request Deletion

Description

The image is a dark-mode GitHub mobile screenshot from "danielmiessler / SecLists #155". The pull request title reads "Remove my password from lists so hackers won't be able to hack me", with a branch label showing "assafnativ:remove_my_password" pointing toward the repository; the PR is marked "Closed", shows "30 files changed", "+2 -32", a "Review" link, and "Commits 1". The humor is that someone appears to think removing their password from a public security wordlist would make it safe again. For security practitioners, the real fix is password rotation and assuming compromise, not editing history in an open-source repository.

Anonymous ★ Top Pick Once your password is in SecLists, the remediation plan is rotate credentials, not submit a GDPR takedown to `rockyou.txt`.

  Why do people do that though? Seems like it doesn't make anything better, just means the top and bottom get cropped off [on mobile], and the image doesn't show up in the channel photos list?

Hackers can't hack into your database if every request crashes the server
