🎙️ Coffee, Chaos and ProdSec, Ep 9

Ever pushed an API key at 2 a.m. and hoped nobody noticed? In this episode, we dig into one of the most preventable but devastating security failures: secrets in code. From leaked AWS keys and OAuth tokens to misconfigured GitHub Actions, we explore how small oversights can open the door to massive breaches, and why this problem keeps growing every year.

We break down real-world incidents like hardcoded admin credentials and recent supply-chain compromises, showing how each one spiraled from simple mistake to global impact. Then we look at the systemic reasons it keeps happening, velocity over hygiene, CI/CD complexity, and the myth that “encrypted” equals “secure.”

Grab your mug and join us as we share practical fixes that actually work, from automated scanning and vault integration to culture-level change. Because in the end, secrets management isn’t a feature, it’s survival.
