Developer laptops are the credential store attackers are picking through in 2026, GitGuardian announces Endpoint Protection

GitGuardian warns that attacker activity over the past year has refocused on developer and privileged endpoints—where plaintext credentials, API keys, and non-human identities are routinely harvested—citing supply-chain compromises (a worm that hit >300 npm/PyPI packages), CLI/tool compromises, and exposures tied to AI tooling and CI systems; the release announces GitGuardian’s Developer Endpoint Protection to inventory and remediate endpoint-resident secrets, deploy honeytokens, and integrate findings into SOC tooling to reduce blast radius and improve incident response.
