tinfoil hats on.

mystery solved: in the coming days github will announce obligatory 2fa linked to a phone number.

some Microsoft exec is betting his job that people will not just abandon github if they turn the heat on too hard on the slow boiled frog that is open source still hosted there.

to offset that theoretical exec fears that open source projects will jump ship, they spent the equivalent of one expensive dinner on ddos for hire to take the top competitors offline.

this is not some coordinate evil plan at Microsoft, just something that someone with even as little as M3@microsoft money and very little cryptocoins can easily do in under an hour.
