- the history can be rewritten, with push --force. The author might have iterated by force pushing one commit
- The author could have discovered it by change in a private repository, or another repository that they deleted
So in general, yes, but in this case, I doubt it. I’m pretty sure this git history is a real and true log of them dicking about trying to get the exploit they saw on twitter working.
…but, I guess, you could be right. /shrug
it was found by a bunch of anime-pfps on twitter and went "viral"
