Just a theory, but perhaps some hackers trying to flex their muscles and stroke their ego's by taking down GitHub.

- obituary_latte 13y agoWould make sense. Saw a bunch of that at the Rio during defcon. Print my boarding pass? Nope. Somebody broke all of the machines. Order a movie or checkout on the TV from my room? Nope. Someone broke the outdated system. Tools gonna tool.
- at-fates-hands 13y agoTo a degree this is pretty funny. Are you sure the hotel didn't do it on purpose just to remove the opportunity for hackers to get over on the hotel?
- obituary_latte 13y agoYes. These systems weren't disabled, they were broken. Not trying to be a buzkill, but I fail to see how it's funny. So you can break an old - undoubtedly unpatched - win xp box that people use to print boarding passes. Congrats.
