The whole thread is curated yet again (as all Microsoft criticism threads are).
Shame on everyone who does not appreciate the volunteer work on gmp and ridicules their servers.
- jeroenhd 3y agoMicrosoft isn't to blame here, other than being kind of a dick diminishing some other project's server. The same kind of attack could just as easily come from Gitlab or any other service that allows easy CI/CD cloning. The problem started with someone making a poorly built automated build script for another project, and that build script getting forked hundreds of times, triggering a huge load all by the lack of spread in the upstream build script. This is nothing compared to an actual DDoS attack, which Microsoft was partially blamed for in the previous email. I can see why someone over at MS would be annoyed to find out the supposed DDoS was just 700 requests.
