On July 13, the code hosting service GitHub suffered another server failure; web pages could not be opened, but it is now accessible again.
Regarding this outage, some netizens claimed that, due to the pandemic, servers in various regions had been stolen. However, this claim has now been debunked — it was just a Photoshopped image.
In fact, on June 29, GitHub had already been down for about two hours, affecting many developers.
