The post keeps saying "verified secrets" - how are they verified? Did the author attempt to login to each service? Or does verified just means that it looks like a valid token?

Gitlab must have been thrilled about a bot cloning 5.6 million repo's in 24 hours. That doesn't really sound responsible to me.

That's 64 clones per second. That's quite a lot but it seems like something that a forge operating at the scale of GitHub can handle, especially if they were --depth=1 (which might have missed some secrets if someone was lazy about clearing their git history).
