Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Omar Optimist (@otechmstr) reported@kirillk_web3 Not canceling any alarms. Four hours to quit your job is classic hype. I've tested the GitHub MCP server though. Anyone shipping real apps with it?
-
blasty (@bl4sty) reportedwalk this list of GHSA's and write me some variant exploits, make it snappy before github goes down or gets hacked again
-
Akhil R (@akhil_r777) reported🚨 GitHub confirmed unauthorized access to internal repositories. What we know right now: • Hacker group TeamPCP claims it stole ~4,000 private internal repos • GitHub says there is currently no evidence customer repositories were affected • The group is reportedly trying to sell the data for $50K+ • TeamPCP has previously targeted Trivy, Grafana, Checkmarx, and SailPoint GitHub is actively investigating and monitoring the situation. If you use GitHub Enterprise Server, check for security patches now 👀

Ignacio Cristerna 2 (@icristerna2) reported@grafana @kmkz_security //I’m beginning to think this @github “issue” is bigger than it looks.
-
David Jennings (@ChilliDoor) reportedI just remembered that MS owns GitHub and by extension NPM, so basically all of these issues ultimately stem from MS incompetence.
-
Henry (@LordOfAlts) reportedNothing is safe in this era!!! Stay safu on social platforms your using guys. Just woke up and this is the first post came in my feed. Something very bad is going on rn in the tech industry. This is getting ridiculous. @github investigating unauthorized access to their own internal repos and the first line is still “no evidence of customer impact” How many more of these “internal only” breaches before Microsoft actually locks this **** down?
-
Fabio (@Zero2HeroZombie) reportedGitHub was compromised via a poisoned VS Code extension on an employee device. Internal repositories were exfiltrated: attacker’s claim of ~3,800 repos is consistent with their investigation so far. Cybersecurity is a huge issue. This is why I am tracking $ICP on a daily basis. It offers a higher standard of security.

mattlaltman (@Eyeznskyz) reported@github @BenjaminDEKR I recently had an issue with @madebygoogle Nest thermostats. All my thermostats were randomly set to 65 degrees. It felt like a bug or a breach. They wouldn’t take it seriously and asked me to fill out many questions before helping, deterring me from seeking more support.
-
Mr Bachelor (@Themrbachelor) reported@github So it's now that the Algo had been placed on GitHub is when you guys started having issues?
-
Tommy Groshong (@TommyGroshong) reportedGlad I shutdown all my private repos last week. GitHub going down the tubes fast.
-
Ishrat Noori (@ishratn00ri) reportedOpened X and got hit with: • GitHub investigating unauthorized access to internal repositories • Grafana confirming attackers downloaded their codebase • Railway dealing with Google Cloud account issues and outages
-
DRUMEE (@DrumeeOS) reported@Rus_Khairullin @github Don't trust any cloud, go for self-host. Trust only your server!
-
Penguinpecker (@penguinpecker1) reported@Sangeli7 @github mf is such a loser that he has to shift his *** to Philippines to get laid but dunks down on strangers WOW
-
intermind (@perasperagi) reportedthe feeling of customization (managing agents, mcp servers) and transparency is also better in github copilot, though perhaps still a little slow on the thinking side but that could be a base plan/model feature
-
Crash Loop BackOff (@MLOpsCamp) reportedGithub continues to flail. At least they're copping to it, though it's not clear what steps they are taking at a more systemic level, given the plague of recent issues.
-
mec337 (@mec337) reported@Observer_ofyou Why so down on Python. As a c++ programmer if I want a quick utility / script it’s so much easier and quicker to do it in Python then crank up visual studio re-invent the wheel scour GitHub for a suitable nugget etc
-
R2D2 (@R2D2zen) reported@Truunik @Maroua_BOUD @JoinEdgeCity That GitHub hack is terrible
-
Yad (@YadKonrad) reportedI remember that one time when Yahoo (rip) got hacked, the funniest imgur, (also rip), post was: "at least the search works finally!" and it would be funny if the bad actors start to host Github, but with SLA 99.99%, not PR api endpoint going down every 2-3 days.

S Tominaga (Aka Dr Craig Wright) (@CsTominaga) reportedHydan hid data inside executables by exploiting equivalent instruction choices. Crude, limited, and analyzable. This GitHub toy is the same species of mistake dressed up for Bitcoin: hide bits in apparently ordinary structures, chant “indistinguishable,” and hope nobody competent examines the assumptions. But hiding data is not scaling. It does not create settlement. It does not transfer ownership. It does not remove trust. It does not make off-chain state valid. It does not stop copied keys, local metadata, broken availability, weak crypto, or operator dependency. Hydan at least knew it was steganography. This thing pretends steganography is monetary architecture. That is the con..

Leon (@Leon_Defi) reported@LordOfAlts @github How many more "internal only" breaches before Microsoft actually locks this down?
-
flyguy.eth 🦇🔊🛡️(🦄,🦄) (@FlyGuyInTheSky) reported@tayvano_ @github Yes but Microsoft is so big and important. It’s as if they are saying “It couldn’t happen to us” or “We have more important issues to solve, we’ll get around to it someday… maybe next year”.
-
devon fitness (@devgotlean) reportedAre you guys able to login on your railway? Says error authenticating with GitHub for me! If you have any advice it would mean the world. Can’t sign in
-
Tasos V⚡ (@CryptoSympozium) reported@AIOZNetwork Great updates. I have a question for you though, AIOZ seems like a great project, but me as a dev I see it as super sketchy. On github you havent made and commits for at least a month. I only see one dev contributing, and your discord link is not working. Can you explain?
-
Nexus Prime (@NexusPrime1112) reported@Ace_KYD @github @Ace_KYD Which would you fix first: onboarding, reliability, or pricing? #DevTools #OpenSource
-
whatsHotapp_DotCom (@WALLA_MAJIC) reportedDo better your suppose to be the top repositories for users lmaooo this unacceptable especially since you even allow users to sign in with GitHub Maan wtf
-
NamasteDev by Akshay Saini (@namastedev_) reportedSpent 2 weeks perfecting my resume. Changed fonts Tweaked bullet points Made it "ATS-friendly." Still no interviews Then realized:My resume wasn't the problem My lack of proof was ❌Perfect resume, empty GitHub ❌Great format, zero projects ❌Amazing design,no online presence
-
Manu Krishna (@ManuKrishna2004) reportedAfter a thorough research, GitHub claims that an extension on VSCode was compromised, which led to this issue
-
Craig (@CraigChaotic) reported@2600Hz_ @github I’m the same, I keep getting pinged for codes to login
-
alkimiadev (@alkimiadev) reported@github I'm glad I switched to self-hosted gitea. About 5 hours ago someone created a post offering to sell your internal data and repos. Its like you guys just hate having users or something. Performance issues, gaslight level bugs that reverse work randomly and now you got pwned.
-
Erwin (@Erwin_AI) reportedGitHub gets hacked, huge Railway outage, GDP just deleting things left and right. All within 24 hours. The only thing to make things complete would be another Cloudflare outage now. If this happens in the next 24h I'm going to eat a RAM module.
