FSF FTP Site Cracked, Looking for MD5 Sums

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the two-scoops-of-paranoia dept.

landley writes "The Free Software Foundation's FTP site at ftp.gnu.org has been "compromised", and they don't seem to have full backups. They've yanked a bunch of recent packages (and their whole alpha.gnu.org ftp site), and when I asked about it they responded 'Our FTP server was compromised, yes. We are beginning to find good MD5sums for files which have not yet been restored, and they will be available again Real Soon Now. If you can provide MD5sums for any of the files listed in MISSING-FILES, it would be very much appreciated.' " Update the FSF has a statement on the FTP site explaining the matter.

    The file MSBLAST.EXE seems to be missing from the server, as it seems to run an Illegal SCO Operating System instead of IIS. MD5SUM: 5ae700c1dffb00cef492844a4db6cd69

  2. No backups? by KlomDark · · Score: 0, Redundant

    WTF? No BACKUPS? What kind of a stupid idiot doesn't make backups. Somebody needs to get fired, or at least kicked out of the room. Missing a recent patch, understandable. No recent backups, unforgivable.

    Reminds me, I need to go do backups!
