We’re a UK registered limited company authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, operating a financial services company out of the UK. We’ve lost access to all our source code because of the recent US trade controls noted here https://help.github.com/en/articles/github-and-trade-controls
We believe we’ve been blocked because a sub-contractor of a sub-contractor currently resident in Ukraine, accessed our github repo whilst visiting family in Crimea. I’m not sure how any company is expected to mitigate against that, particulary as we didn’t know about these trade controls until after we believe the developer visited Crimea.
We’ve submitted an organisation appeal on Friday 30th August, but as yet had no feedback.
Does anybody have any idea how long this appeal process may take?
