Just for interest, I noticed a failed login attempt to my Github
account about two hours ago, originating in Toronto.

That's the first fishy thing Github's security log ever showed for my account.

I do have 2FA enabled there now, so I'm not worried.

Coincidence? About a week after I enabled 2FA for my Microsoft
account, that _also_ notified me for the very first time of a failed
login attempt.

Maybe the NSA tracks when people enable 2FA, and after about a week
gets around to making sure they can still break in ;-)
