> Why would anyone think that a private fork is "published"!?

Anyone who put sensitive content in a git repo should consider published anyway. Git is a decentralized tool, as a company you cannot control the amount of git remotes that may host your code. Considering your code is only hosted as a private repo in a specific remote git server is at best naive. This is without even considering the amount of copies that are stored in dev computers.

Besides, anyone who put stuff on a third party publicly accessible infrastructure should consider it published anyway as breaches happen all the time.

If you happen to have api keys stored in a git repo, the only viable response is rotating those keys.
