Grok Accused of Uploading Repositories and Secrets
ctjlewis · x · 2026-07-15
Users pointed out that Grok's build process uploads the entire repository, including .git history and secrets, to a cloud bucket; even opting out fails to prevent this.
The post's author described the situation as severe as "stealing the .git directory," emphasizing it was only discovered because someone monitored the traffic using a network proxy. Commenters further elevated this to the necessity of open infrastructure: if a system verbally promotes "local-first" but secretly exfiltrates code and secrets, trust is completely broken.
