They're probably using among other things IP addresses.
- JonathanBeuys 4y agoYou mean they banned the whole hedge fund OP works for?
- ch4s3 4y agoThey're probably seeing a new account pop up and using the ip range along with some machine info leaked by the browser to pin down the OP, or just the machine info.
- siproprio 4y agoNo. And also they banned me before I started working for the hedge fund. Previously I worked at Siemens, we did not use GitHub, we had a self hosted Gitlab instance.
- SoftTalker 4y agoThat's way too general. An entire company and dozens of people could be behind one IP address.
- ch4s3 4y agoSure, if you only try to use it from work that may make ti a bit harder to pinpoint which is why I said among other things. I think we're all aware that browsers leak information about you and your machine if you aren't careful.
