Thread regarding Optum layoffs

Github Security Incident?

Anyone know whats going on? Github Actions has been down all day, and its nothing but silence from the Github team. No response when we ask them to open a war room to track the remediation either.

Entire company was mandated to switch to these tools and now we cant even keep them online?

They've also completely locked out a couple of people. Completely disabled their msid with ZERO communication for about two days now. No ETA no nothing. Unbelievable how they treat employees.

@d7 .. This is what you get when you outsource your talent and IT to, well, you know where. Such a waste.

The irony in getting one of those stupid "Safe With Me" test emails that says to "Report this email" as a test to make sure we're keeping s--t secure and not allowing hackers in, yet the call is coming from inside the house due to offshored IT.

2025 was one of the worst peak seasons ive seen in over a decade with regards to IT stability. Constant P1s and full-scale company wide outages from critical shared tools and services like firewalls and bluecoat proxy.

If this security incident less than a month into peak is any indicator, alongside the enterprise wide Next Gen Networking P1 2 weeks ago, 2026 is going to be even worse.

All that cost "savings" from offshoring pi---d down the drain because IT quality is so bad we are all crashing in prod non stop

@OP I'm feeling confident today. We have this incident and the local news is saying a large medical provider is suing UHC, because they published the provider catalog indicating said provider is in-network for UHCs Medicare Advantage Plan when they are NOT. The contract was not renewed. Great look going into 2027 open enrollment. eyeroll

Ive never seen a critical tool be down for this long with no war room, no ETA, and no communication.
