One person used Grok. Now you have 72 hours to fix the damage.
A single unapproved account can leak your full repository history including deleted secrets, and vendors can disable access remotely without your knowledge.
Someone on your IT team has a paid Grok account. You do not know about it. That is not a policy failure, it is just Tuesday.
No attacker. No vulnerability. Nobody broke a rule. An engineer installed a CLI, pointed it at a repo, and the whole thing left the building. Full git history. Every credential anyone ever committed and deleted years ago.
Nobody writes policy for the tool they did not buy. So your fastest engineer is the one carrying your source code out the door, and they are doing it because they are good at their job.
Three things:
- Your exposure is git history, not open files. Rotate now.
- A vendor switched this off remotely, no software update. It can go back the same way, and you would not know either time. That is every cloud agent you run, not just this one.
- If EU personal data sat in one of those repos, the clock is already running. Awareness starts it, not investigation.
Ask what your people are running that you never put there. The next 72 hours is the whole window. https://www.atomdigit.com/insights/one-person-used-grok
