Intrusion Cleanup Forces Delay For GNOME 2.6
An anonymous reader writes "Looks like the GNOME site (both web and FTP) is back up and running again (from a replacement system). The restoration work is still going on, and dynamic content does not work yet. Bugzilla should be up by tomorrow (it is already in testing mode). More details are available in this announcement. Kudos to the GNOME sysadmin team for such a rapid recovery." However, blurzero writes "GNOME 2.6 was scheduled to be released sometime today, however after evidence of possible intrusion on the web server, the release has been delayed by one week, until March 31st." Update: 03/24 14:08 GMT by T : An anonymous reader points to this story on the delay at ZD Net Australia.
and the GNAA and Red Hat. By rolloffle, bare gets pwnt.
This is just a hoax. Internally in their IRC channels they said that they can't release in time and thus needed to find a believable excuse for this and thus created this 'Intrusion' thing. You people got seriously shitten.
There is and was no intrusion.
Stupid BSD snobs. Always promoting their dying OS at ever opportunity. I won't be surprised if BSD kiddiez are behind this attack, just to prove how "superior" their insignificant little OS is.
Obviously, this "dumb cracker" remark means that GNOME developers are nothing but cold-hearted racists, and their desktop environment should be avoided at all costs.
This is unfortunate, because the other option, KDE, is unfortunately run by a Kommunist regime from straight from the heart of the former Soviet Union.
As a result, the only viable solution is Enlightenment.
If only MSFT (and more importantly, proprietary software companies that aren't so much in the spotlight) were as forthcoming about break-ins.
Really? Please support this by stating which companies were hacked, when they were hacked, and how long did it take them to make an announcement about it.
