Although it probably goes against their corporate policies, Github really ought to block access to all China IP addresses for all repos OTHER than greatfire and the nytimes until the offending DDoS codes are removed from baidu.
- AYBABTME 12y agoReprisal of this sort would have no effect other than worsening Github's stance in front of China. Reprisal from corporations against a large state are pretty useless. The best and smartest thing a corporation can do is complain to their local diplomacy. Nations are sovereign, if you hit them back as a corporation, they'll just block you and there's nothing you can do about it.

Even if you can 100% prove that the attack came from with the Chinese government, all China has to do is blame ha idealistic, but naive, rogue admin and promise that steps have been taken to make sure it doesn't happen again.
