At this point, I’m out of ideas. Has anyone else dealt with this? How do we get GitHub to take this seriously?
Not read any thriller / conspiracy novels? :-) The way is to do exactly what you're doing here: take the news public. Very public. The more the merrier. Post to HN, LinkedIn, Facebook, Slashdot, Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, etc. Send email to every news/media outlet you can find contact info for. @mention people who work for CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, Fox News, CBS News, Reuters, Associated Press, etc. on Twitter, or find them on LinkedIn and message them. Write up a press release and submit using PRNewsWire and such-like. Record a video and post on Youtube. Contact the Attorneys General for all 50 US states. And so on.
Thanks, I just find it wild that Microsoft appears wholly uninterested in policing what seems like a huge legal liability to their business. I’ll start reaching out to as many journalists as I can with what I’ve got. They seem a little overwhelmed from the two I’ve already reached out to.
Edited to add: I’ve also been hoping that I could avoid giving the attackers too much of a heads up, but at this point the risk is higher that nothing gets done about it at all.
