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."

    Hey, when windows comes with half the stuff that most Linux distros ship with and install by default you might have a point; until then your argument is like comparing Apples and PCs.

    He does have a point though; when was the last time Microsoft.com was hacked, or down? They run Windows and even IIS for their webserver. They must be doing something right.
