Probably because they said they are under a large ddos attack? :-?

I wonder why would someone do something like this? It's not like github is evil or anything... it's just a really cool and useful tool for coders. It helped a lot of people better their skills and knowledge. Why would someone attack it? (I am genuinely interested in this as I can't think of a reason someone would do something like this)

No they dont. The link just says, github is down, nothing else, an interesting news would be a link to the twitter post.
