Hi All,

FYI: I found that a series of commits made to the web-ide project yesterday
were attributed to my account, but I did not author them. They were clearly
malicious, attempting to read secrets from the project. I revoked access
tokens and ssh keys, and then force-pushed to remove the offending commits.
Branch protection rules are now in place for web-ide.

I'm unsure if the breach involved an old access token, an SSH key, or was
just a commit spoof. I think I've taken the necessary steps to prevent
further issues, but if you see any strange commits attributed to my
account, please let me know.

Thanks,
Steven
