Internal software source code from more than 50 high-profile companies 
across tech, finance, retail, and other sectors has been leaked online.

Originally reported by the tech site Bleeping Computer, a Swiss developer 
named Tillie Kottmann was able to pull source code from the likes of

Kottmann posted the code on the online repository manager GitLab, which 
anyone can access, tagged under "exconfidential" and "Confidential & 
Proprietary." The developer posted a link to the online repository on 
their Twitter account.

dubbed the "GigaLeak" online.
