Wow, it seems that 100% of sev-3 ("critical") incidents in the last year (=365 days) have occurred between April 22, 2026 and now.
Is it possible that there has been a change in the way the data are collected/recorded that even partially accounts for this sudden onset?
- gen220 4mo agoOne tangent, I believe sev-0 is actually "critical" (at least as how I'm used to reading it), and the higher you go the less critical something is. IMO as a github-watcher, I think they changed their definition of what constitutes a sev-0 between sev-1 for the better. In particular, they had a few "sev-1"'s around the turn of the year that would be classified as sev-0's if they happened today. Pre-4/22 GitHub sev-1 was a normal SaaS company's sev-0, imo. So I think their new system is more reflective of reality. My guess is that a few of their big customers bullied them to have more accurate SEV categorization.
- connorboyle 4mo agoAh, thank you for the correction on sev-0. To be clear, your observation that "they changed their definition of what constitutes a sev-0" is based just on your external observation of incidents and their designations, correct? I.e. they haven't officially released a statement saying they have changed their standards
