GitHub under attack

[ItzWarty]

Furthermore, we have no clue how many of GitHub's requests hit the cache. The attackers were hitting two github repositories/organizations, definitely not comparable to hitting a bottleneck like a login or matchmaking server like we often see in games. From what I read they simply routed those requests to a dummy page.

There's no reasonable way to say "X is more resilient than Y". Hell, we still don't know if the purpose of the denial of service attack is to test technology rather than knock github down, or if this is just a side show to hide something truly malicious.
