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."

    URGENT! I'm going to New York City soon and I need to know if there are any computer stores there. I want to buy a laptop during my visit. Is this possible? Has it ever been done?

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

    A backup can be used to verify its integrity, though.

    Once you find out how they got in (possibly by looking at backups), you can look at your backups and figure out when they got in, and then you can probably figure out what they changed.

    The idea that women are born with a finite pool of egg cells that die out at menopause has been entrenched in the minds of biologists for more than half a century. "Basically the dogma has been set in stone," said Jonathan Tilly (seated), who with Joshua Johnson, Jacqueline Canning, and colleagues reports a discovery that topples this doctrine. They have found that mouse ovaries continually replenish their supply of oocytes. And using a variety of molecular markers, they were able to demonstrate the existence of an as yet unidentified pool of germline stem cells.
