GitHub and Rails: You have let us all down.
I have lost all trust in GitHub, and not because of the vulnerability, but because of their response. With their suspension of hamakov's account and deceptive blog post about the extent of the hole, GitHub has guaranteed that they won't be the first to know about the next vulnerability (and there's always another).I've downgraded my paid account to a free account, and won't keep any non-public data on GitHub in the future. I had a similar response with my (non-paid) DropBox account. I guess I didn't rationally evaluate cloud resources, and have trusted far too many people.
