Ask HN: Why isn't the GitHub attack being covered by the news?
Perhaps because non-programmers (aka civilians) don't know what GitHub is, and it's difficult to explain.Perhaps it's interesting to reframe in a language that affect most people:"Linux development halted by ciberattack!!!"That's not completely true and too linkbaity, especially with the three bang sings. Is there another huge mainstream project hosted there?Another linkbait:"Hackers break hackers site!!!"Not so appealing to most people, but you can exploit curiosity. Also, you'll get a lot of complains about the incorrect use of the word "hackers" in both positions.
