I received an email from BrowserStack saying that they have refreshed my access key as a precaution due to a security issue:
We were just made aware (by a security researcher) of a potential risk to one of our systems which contains event logs.
While no personally identifiable information is contained in these logs, we would like to ensure that our platform continues to adhere to the highest standards of security and privacy. We have taken proactive measures to ensure this, as described below:
Your access key has been refreshed. Your old key will be valid until 14:00 UTC on Saturday 24th March 2018. You can get your new access key by navigating to your Account Settings page.
As an additional precaution, ongoing local testing connections have been disconnected to ensure that your local connections use the new key.
Please make appropriate changes to your automation scripts to reflect the refreshed key.
Description of the change
I have updated .travis.yml to use the new access key.
How someone else can test the change
I will run a test build on Travis using BrowserStack. If that passes, then this PR should be OK.
When should this PR be merged
ASAP. Without this PR, our Travis builds for pushes to the master branch will fail.
Risks
None.
Follow-up actions
None.
