WARNING - GitHub is displaying hidden pages as 404 instead of 403

If a GitHub account has been flagged, all its content (including issues) is displayed to third parties as 404. You can only view them once you are logged in with the account of the owner of such content.

Hence the information provided by GitHub's servers to end clients is misleading. Those cases are 403, not 404.
