> I don’t blame GH at all. I don't really see anyone blaming GitHub, not even the original post, I'm not sure why all the responses here are insinuating that?

  No harm, no foul, because, what, it says "Hacker" in the title? I don't know, are we 12? The reason that hacking is even a thing: It's actually possible to break things in a responsible, non-destructive way (in contrast to most things in the physical world). If we skip the responsible part, we are just... breaking things and incurring costs. Why should that be okay?

  It’s GitHub, not HackerHub. That the story is reported on Hacker News is irrelevant.

    But I would expect a different sentiment of comments on a site called Hacker News.

      That it's being scoffed at on Hacker News ought to tell you how uncreative and trifling it is. It's a script kiddie stunt not remotely worthy of being considered actual hacking.
