Gnome.org Compromised?

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."

A backup is useless if you are not sure of its integrity.

The thing to do is backup your integrities. I mean use tripwire.

I'm sure it was the terrorists. They were last seen tunneling somewhere.
