Gnome.org Compromised?

Posted by michael on from the somebody-needs-to-get-stomped dept.

Garden GNOME writes "The GNOME sysadmin team has just announced that the main GNOME web server has probably been intruded into, leading to the shutdown of the GNOME website, (including bugzilla.gnome.org, art.gnome.org and developer.gnome.org). The GNOME mailing lists, and CVS servers seem to be up, though the FTP server was immediately taken down as a precautionary measure (released sources are believed to be intact). This is bad, because GNOME 2.6 was supposed to be released tomorrow. Let's hope it is a false alarm."

    I do not read Welsh. I looked at your diary and thought "Aha! Google translation will help". Oh no it doesn't. I think that either the english on the page tricks it, or perhaps the meta-data DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN", too? Of course, google translation may not support Welsh.
