Sorry to thread crap, but I couldn't help finding it slightly ironic wondering 
what would happen if the hackers in charge would have needed to pull some 
remotely hacker-y software for the exploit...

Kind regards,
Rory

 week GitHub was hit by 1.35Tb DDoS attack. It thus established a new record. 
After few minutes the attack was mitigated by Akamai, who was called in by 
GitHub.

The attackers used misconfigured Memcached servers.

Just another FYI to reinforce against this exploit
