I think it's probably my fault. Github seems to go down every time I start poking around in someone else's projects.

GitHub says it's a DDOS attack that's hampering their services.

Github status is hosted on Github, d'oh. Their Twitter feed posted at 2037Z: "We are experiencing issues due to a DDOS attack, working hard to restore service..." https://twitter.com/github/status/259029493669310464

Looks like github status is on heroku. It's loading fine for me:

  > host status.github.com
  status.github.com is an alias for appid129905herokucom-760859479.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com.
  appid129905herokucom-760859479.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com has address 50.19.101.240
  appid129905herokucom-760859479.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com has address 50.19.101.216
  appid129905herokucom-760859479.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com has address 107.22.241.165

HN is much slower here as well. Is HN also targeted?
