Uploaded IP content to personal GitHub. What’s the risk of legal action?

Question

I uploaded a company’s repo to my personal account and deleted it shortly after because it’s illegal and detectable for GitHub enterprise. I just did it to keep it as notes but yes I know it was a really horrible idea.

What’s the risks of it being detected? I have no idea how good GitHub enterprise scanning is for detecting code similarities.
