Kernel.org Compromised
First time accepted submitter JoeF writes "There is a note posted on the main kernel.org page indicating that kernel.org was compromised earlier this month: 'Earlier this month, a number of servers in the kernel.org infrastructure were compromised. We discovered this August 28th. While we currently believe that the source code repositories were unaffected, we are in the process of verifying this and taking steps to enhance security across the kernel.org infrastructure.' The note goes on to say that it is unlikely to have affected the source code repositories, due to the nature of git."
Mmm... on the troll scale I'd give it a 2/10. Not really original, neither the statement nor the attempt to avoid being modded down and hence removed from visibility, shows very little understanding of the process and too little effort to be taken serious.
It's a notch above "you sucks cock", mostly for increased length (certainly not content), but it's still a far cry from the quality trolls I've seen.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
The kernel.org sources live on OS X Lion boxes - authentication is handled through LDAP.
