> The fact that this key was apparently not stored in an HSM, and that GH employees had access to this private key (allowing them to accidentally push it) means that effectively all communication with GH since the founding of the company has to be considered compromised.

For a host key? Like I get that being able to impersonate Github isn't great as far as state level actors having the ability to do this but you do know the actual transport layer keys are ephemeral and aren't derived at all from the host key, right?
