On April 15, 2022, Travis CI personnel were informed that certain private customer repositories may have been accessed by an individual who used a man-in-the-middle 2FA attack, leveraging a third-party integration token. Immediately upon learning this information, Travis CI immediately revoked all authorization keys and tokens preventing any further access to our systems. No customer data was exposed and no further access was possible.

Upon further review that same day, Travis CI personnel learned that the hacker breached a Heroku service and accessed a private application OAuth key used to integrate the Heroku and Travis CI application. This key does not provide access to any Travis CI customer repositories or any Travis CI customer data. We thoroughly investigated this issue and found no evidence of intrusion into a private customer repository (i.e. source code) as the OAuth key stolen in the Heroku attack does not provide that type of access. Based on what we have found, we do not believe this is an issue or risk to our customers.

Given the data we had and out of an abundance of caution, Travis CI revoked and reissued all private customer auth keys and tokens integrating Travis CI with GitHub to ensure no customer data is compromised.

Please contact Travis CI customer support with any questions or concerns. We will continue to review and monitor.
