Even if the developers are no longer working for the organizations in question.
GitHub is reportedly suspending the accounts of Russian developers with connections to organizations sanctioned by the US government following the invasion of Ukraine in February. BleepingComputer reports that GitHub started to suspend these accounts on April 13. The company has targeted accounts managed by the sanctioned companies, but it’s also said to be suspending the accounts of individuals with loose ties to the organizations in question. GitHub seems to be struggling to identify what accounts should be suspended, however, with the company reportedly banning Russian programmers who are no longer affiliated with the sanctioned companies.
