Github reported a ddos ​​attack

All week, Github users have reported problems with the service.
Github, in turn, said that they were working on the problem and did not say that their DDoS'yat.
I also felt these interruptions in my work.

And so, a few minutes ago, they posted a message on their blog , which tells about the reason for all these interruptions.
As you already understood, the cause of interruptions was the DDoS-attack, which began on Saturday.
For the whole week of the attacks, they stayed for about 1 hour.
After working together with a hosting provider (for those who do not remember, they are hosted at Rackspace), they began to feel more stable and said something like:
"We are protected from DDoS attacks better than ever before, and plan that next week will be better."
')
Service health status can be viewed in real time on this page .

Judging by the posts on Habré, this week was not sweet not only for Github - DDoS'or many ...

In addition to the topic of DDoS attacks, I’ll also write about the recent ipv6 DDoS attack in history .
It was not possible to write about it in time, but now, over the statute of limitations, I decided not to publish a post about it, but simply to report here. It seems no one has mentioned this on Habré.
