A news article introducing Betterleaks, a new open-source successor to Gitleaks for scanning directories, files, and Git repositories for exposed secrets. The piece outlines Betterleaks' features (CEL validation, token-efficiency scanning, pure Go implementation, encoded-secret handling, expanded rules, parallelized Git scanning), performance claims, authorship and governance, and planned enhancements; it does not report any cyber incident or active threat.
