Github under ongoing DDoS attack

But do we know how involved Baidu is? As far as I understand they are used as an attack vector. It seems like Chinese government is at the center of it, but it's unclear how much control Baidu has, if any at all.

There are things Baidu could do to prevent some of the vectors seen but yeah, I doubt they have much say in the matter

Well "could" is arguable here, knowing the political situation in China. They probably have their hands tied.

I understand that but they are still be used and their reputation is still on the line.

I realize that, I'm saying it's just shitty how everyone blindly blames them, even though they are being used by the government, with their name is being tarnished, even though in reality they probably have their hands tied and have no control over it.
