Update: It looks like the accounts have all been deleted by github, including their repos. They are 404 pages now. Their repos + recent malicious commits are all just 404 pages now.

I'm curious what the policy is there if the accounts were compromised. Can the original users "restore" their accounts somehow? For now it appears the accounts are gone. Maybe they were entirely bot accounts but a few looked like compromised "real" accounts to me.

Yep my coworker hnykda, first reply confirming the report, got his account deleted for a while earlier. Definitely not the best way of handling this...

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.
