Re: Github seems to be experiencing security issues
#3Why does this page mean GitHub is experiencing security issues?
I didn't know this page existed. Its pretty handy, though I don't like how it shows failed logins. 6 attempts in the past 24 hours unnerves me. Probably trying my email and my use-all password from vBulletin or one of the numerous other sites which have been broken into.

#4I don't get it... this is my own security page which looks normal to me.
[edit] I see one failed login attempt from a chinese IP like other people are saying. Maybe that is what OP meant to point out?
Re: Github seems to be experiencing security issues
#5Very strange; I just checked my security history and see that there have been 5 unsuccessful login attempts from China/Venezuela to my account (last 14 hours).
Everything before that is pretty clean and without fake logins.
Does anyone have more information on this?
Re: Github seems to be experiencing security issues
#6Not sure if it's related to what the OP meant, but I can see 5 failed login attempts from different IP addresses over the past 48 hours (and pretty much none before that).
Re: Github seems to be experiencing security issues
#7It's showing a page of security history. That doesn't mean there is a problem with security.
It's just for the curious ones, or the paranoid ones, or those that surf around on suspicious networks or committed something last night and can't remember it at all.
It's just a reality check.

I too have the following, which cannot be attributed to me since I was asleep.

#9I'm seeing similar failed attempts in my logs as well.
Re: Github seems to be experiencing security issues
#10I just checked my account's security history, and there's been a failed login attempt every 7 hours for the past two days, all from different IP addresses.
It reminds me of the "Hail Mary Cloud" posted previously on HN - http://bsdly.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-hail-mary-cloud-and-le...
