It’s a very popular messaging platform for tech enthusiasts.

  So? Is this where your corporate paying clients should find out about an issue of this severity? Not to mention Twitter is not an open platform anymore! (A) I'm an employee in an organization paying for Github. (B) I don't have a Twitter account. I already have a Github account because of (A). Why should (B) stop/delay me from getting official comms about this?

    Isn't it the first stop for the USG at this point? I mean, I wish the world were a different place but here we are.

    I can't imagine they'd spam every account with an email address, though an email to organization owners would make more sense.

      > I can't imagine they'd spam every account with an email address It's not "spam" if it is relevant to me, such as security incident disclosures. Also, as tiffanyh pointed out, what's wrong with Github blog or is that exclusively for marketing fluff now? That would've been appropriate enough, without having to spend Sendgrid credits.

      Mailing every (potentially) affected entity is common and good practice for major incidents.

    The only metric that matters when choosing a platform to broadcast announcements is ‘very popular’.
