Security News > 2024 > August > Number of incidents affecting GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, and Jira continues to rise

The possibility to integrate security in development processes has given rise to DevSecOps, where development and operations teams work together with security teams and all their processes are converged.

The incidents affecting GitHub users in 2023 increased by over 21% compared to the previous year.

The number of incidents related to Bitbucket in 2023 decreased slightly compared to the previous year but we are talking about a difference of 2.04%. Unfortunately, Jira users could experience 50% more incidents than a year before - 75 events in total.

In August GitLab fell victim to a highly skilled assault that not only undermined the service provider's security but also made an innovative Proxyjacking scheme possible.

What was GitLab's security advice? Of course, to follow the organization's security incident and disaster recovery processes to revoke the compromised instance and restore the latest good working backup to a new GitLab instance.

DevOps security issues and challenges usually appear from developers and operations teams being on different pages with security teams.
