Detects the creation or modification of repository webhooks in GitHub. Attackers can use webhooks for real-time data exfiltration of code pushes, pull request comments, and workflow data. Once a webhook is established, it operates independently of the creating user; revoking the creator's credentials will NOT stop the data flow. Only deleting the webhook itself terminates the exfiltration.
