Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily look at the stories shaping our digital world.
GitHub appears to be compromised, with a developing situation drawing significant attention on Hacker News. Details remain thin, but early reports point to a potential security incident on the platform that millions of developers depend on daily. This is one to watch closely as it unfolds.
