Large Scale DDoS Attack on github.com

GitHub is currently dealing with the largest distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack in its history, which began on March 26 at 2 AM UTC. The attack employs a variety of attack vectors, including both known methods and sophisticated new techniques that exploit web browsers from uninvolved users to generate massive traffic. It is believed that the attack aims to pressure GitHub into removing certain types of content. The company's primary focus is to mitigate the attack and ensure the site remains accessible to users while managing the influx of malicious traffic. Updates on the situation are available on GitHub's status site and Twitter account @githubstatus.
