The fact that someone would target GitHub for a massive DDoS attack makes me sick to the stomach.

  Any company that makes most or all of its money online is the subject of DDoS attacks for blackmail purposes, github a bit more so because the Chinese government doesn't like it. It's unfortunately a very normal thing these days.

    What is the PRC's problem with Github?
    • ricardobeat 12y ago
      They host the 'GreatFire' org and other software to bypass their censorship firewall.

      Probably because Github is hosting code they don't like (e.g. code used to bypass censorship).

      Its due to these two repost most likely. https://github.com/greatfire/ https://github.com/greatfire/ https://github.com/cn-nytimes/ https://github.com/cn-nytimes/ Access to them is currently no possible though.
