GitHub has been battling a massive distributed denial-of-service attack campaign that began late March 25. Security experts say the attack appears to have originated from China and targets anti-censorship tools hosted on GitHub. The DDoS attack techniques “include every vector we’ve seen in previous attacks as well as some sophisticated new techniques that use the Web browsers of unsuspecting, uninvolved people to flood the site with high levels of traffic,” says security researcher Igal Zeifman. Baidu says the attack didn’t appear to involve any of its systems.”]
