In 2025, we found 28.65 million new hardcoded secrets in new public GitHub commits.

I feel the comparison part of the quote is helpful for context. Including it here for lazy people. (I do agree with you.)

This marks a 34% increase from our previous report, which covered 2024, marking the largest single‑year jump we have ever recorded.
