So this was a whole shit show that as of now has cost me 2 days of investigation, clean-up, mitigation, will likely cost me more time & also feels extremely crappy all in all.

I'm just glad I didn't base any *really* important decisions on those manipulated numbers, that would have been REALLY bad.

Now I have to live with knowing that most of the growth I saw the past 2 years was likely faked, which feels quite terrible tbh. Feels like not doing a good job after all.

@foosel How do you feel about OctoEverywhere's response? I mean it sounds sincere and all, but did they convince you it was not the main developer themselves? They do have a financial incentive after all. (To be clear: I'm not accusing them of anything)

@jeroen94704 tbh, I'm just relying on clear evidence in my judgement here.

Their statement sounds plausible and there's no proof for or against it. I don't see a point in pushing this further, I'm pretty sure that whoever did this will not be doing it again given the outcome.
