but isn't that exactly what these providers like github asking people to do?
Heck, what aren't you supposed to put on the cloud these days? ...

How are you sure that code is safe inside company servers? There have been instances of code theft from there also, by insiders themselves, isn't it?

Or an IT manager from a huge multinational opens a suspicious file from a suspicious email and installs some ransomware on the server.

What's so wise about that?
All of our data goes through 3rd party servers.
I have a lot more confidence in GitHub to keep my files safe than in many system admins.
I suspect the hacker from the article guessed a password or even got it through social hacking or a keylogger (that has to be installed as well).
The chances of such a thing happening are small if your people are well trained and aware.
Meanwhile, it allows teams to work from anywhere, which is especially important now.
Let's look at the alternative, put it on your own server and secure it through VPN.
But there's the thing, if someone gets those VPN credentials using the same methods they used to get the GitHub credentials, they'll probably get access to a lot more than just source files.
And who is to say your system administrator secured it correctly in the first place?
Especially if that sort of thing isn't your main business, you'll have to hire a third party to do it for you, but they can't be arsed by making sure you stay up-to-date and have all the latest security patches and before you know it your on-premises server is a lot less safe than a GitHub, Office 365, Azure or what cloud solutions have you.
Even if you have a system administrator, keeping a large enough environment safe is a full time job that also requires constant learning (kind of like maintaining software  ).
I'm pretty sure a lot of companies haven't been breached just because they're to small or to unknown and not interesting for hackers.

That was awesome!! Thanks for posting this, made my day.
one of the video comments was asking if that was not indeed an actual Nickelback song.

This reminds of an old Adam Sandler line : if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, then have we found the perfect place for a Nickleback concert?

I work off a thumb drive so I can work from either my desktop at home, or my laptop while at lunch at work.
At lunch today, I sat down to finally finish up the application, and when I tried to load a file in VS, it said the file was not found. Looked on the drive, and sure enough, it was gone.
The problem - it was a base class that had about 90% of the entity rendering code in it.
This is a major setback, and if it wasn't for the fact that we needed this app at work, I'd just say fuk it and abandon the whole project.
I'm severely disappointed and angry about the whole thing. :/

You do have a backup though ?

My condolences. On the plus side, you won't do that again.
You won't, will you?? (Just dump the project off the thumb drive onto both work and home machines each time you swap over; or (what I do normally) is open a free hosted subversion account (or Git) and commit to there when swapping machines.

That's assuming that such repository software are allowed in his work machine...
