GitHub Token Clone Push or ZIP from Unusual ASN

Description

Detects git clone, git push, or ZIP download authenticated with a classic PAT, fine-grained PAT, or OAuth access token from an autonomous system (ASN) not previously seen for that user in the last 7 days. The source IP is resolved to its ASN at query time, so address churn inside the same ISP or cloud provider does not produce new alerts. A token used from an unfamiliar ASN can indicate credential theft or use from an unauthorized location.
