No joke I let them know about that in their official discussion board day 1 copilot came out. When they announced it, the first day you could ask it about the contents of private repos and it would just tell you.

They fixed it but this looks really similar.

The fact that there are so many “acts” that got violated tells me that those laws are just as shoddy as the fact that Microsoft’s fix didn’t take into account that the AI still has access to private data. Total shit show on all fronts.

Microsoft: Copilot is the future! /s

As one commented below the article, "Recall too I bet".
It's like the dumbest anosmic sheep dog that'll just show the wolf the way to the sheep.

Kind of a nothing burger.

These repositories, belonging to more than 16,000 organizations, were originally posted to GitHub as public, but were later set to private, often after the developers responsible realized they contained authentication credentials allowing unauthorized access or other types of confidential data. Even months later, however, the private pages remain available in their entirety through Copilot.

The repo was listed as public and archived. It's not clear from the article but I suspect that the "private" information is just a copy of what was made public and not the information added after it was made private.
