Attackers Breach GitHub: How Did They Find an Uptime Window?
Description
A Discord-style dark screenshot in the 'shot / chaser' format showing two embedded X posts. The 'shot' is an official GitHub (@github) statement: 'We are investigating unauthorized access to GitHub's internal repositories. While we currently have no evidence of impact to customer information stored outside of GitHub's internal repositories (such as our customers' enterprises, organizations, and repositories), we are closely' - posted at 04:48. The 'chaser' is a reply by Anshu (@anshuc) at 05:41: '@github holy shit, how did the attackers find a large enough uptime window to get in?' The joke skewers GitHub's notorious outage frequency: the platform is allegedly down so often that even attackers would struggle to find it online long enough to breach it

The breach post-mortem writes itself: root cause was an unprecedented 90 consecutive minutes of availability
The attacker’s rarest exploit was getting a successful health check from GitHub.
