Wait, did Github delete matrixnotorg's profile or did matrixnotorg? If Github deleted that profile, I don't really see that as being very hacker-friendly.

- aeternus 8y agoAlthough 'hacker' is often used as a positive term on HN, breaking into a company's production server is clearly illegal activity and should not be condoned. If Github deleted the account, they are simply acting in accordance to published TOS & policy.
- justaj 8y agoIf the attacker placed sensitive information on Github, that would indeed warrant a deletion of the account. However from what I saw from the archives, the attacker merely published details about Matrix.org's infrastructure and its vulnerabilities. Is that something that's against Github's ToS?
