Things are so much better. GitHub Hacked for Bitcoins: Is it a Hackers Smartness or Microsoft Security Weakness?.

Well, hackers have struck again and this time it’s to the heart of developers- the code repositories at Github. Well, it been a couple of days since A hacker has been breaking into GitHub accounts and is wiping code repositories, to then demand a ransom in bitcoin from its owners. While there are still no signs of who the hacker, it definitely raises questions on Microsoft connection to it and its capabilities of managing the code repository vertical which it acquired last year.

If you are relying on GitHub, or one of the other Git service providers, to manage everything, well this should serve as a wake-up call. And other providers have been hit as well.

Microsoft is getting the blame because they are stonewalling.
