This is why we never host closed-source code online. ....Can you really trust the third party sys-admins managing your servers? It's easy to simply blame everything on malicious hackers. Also, check your computer for malware.

There isn't much else you can do besides get a lawyer and prove you built it first.

&& check your pc for malware / rootkits

I guess take it as a hard lesson, since you mentioned repo -- stop trusting "the cloud" for all your secret stuff. Somebody has to manage all that and there is definitely somebody besides you who can see all that. If you're going to backup online, encrypt everything before you upload. Never leave your source code hanging out naked on the internet...and yes, naked also means placing them unobfuscated, unencrypted on "private clouds"
