     Prior thread for the TeamPCP LiteLLM dump, which impacted over 2000 companies including some of the world’s biggest.

     For transparency I’ve reported to a few companies they hadn’t rotated their creds via responsible disclosure - and they’ve all now discovered incidents via their logs. https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/117082931383028334
