Eindringling auf GNOME.org

[Philipp]

So wie es aussieht hat sich jemand am GNOME.org Server zu schaffen gemacht.

Von der GNOME Mailingliste:

We've discovered evidence of an intrusion on the server hosting www.gnome.org and other gnome.org websites. At the present time, we think that the released gnome sources and the gnome source code repository are unaffected.

We are investigating further and will provide updates as we know more. We hope to have the essential services hosted on the affected machine up and running again as soon as possible.

Update:

A quick status update on the situation:

* No additional damage has been discovered; at the current time we are cautiously hopeful that the compromise was limited in scope.

* ftp.gnome.org is back on now that we have additional confidence in the integrity of the tarballs.

* We've now restored a number of services running on a replacement machine

- Websites including www.gnome.org, and developer.gnome.org are back up in limited service; dynamic content is still off so some parts may be inaccessible.

- planet.gnome.org is again providing all your favorite blogs and gossip.

- Bugzilla is in testing mode; we hope to restore general access in the next day.

Thanks for your patience; we'll continue to provide updates as we move back to fully operational status.

GNOME 2.6 wird sich um eine Woche verzögern:

As a result of the recent web server intrusion, the release team has chosen
to delay the announcement of GNOME 2.6 until March 31st.

While we have determined that none of our released sources were affected, we
are showing due caution by giving the sysadmin team plenty of time to finish
their investigation and restore critical services. Apologies for the delay,
especially for all our friends around the world who have organised GNOME 2.6
release parties!

For further updates, please subscribe to gnome-announce-list, or watch this
thread in the archives:

Many thanks to the (now somewhat underslept) sysadmin team and helpers for
their swift and thorough response. Please raise a toast to them at your 2.6
release party of choice.

Thanks,

- Jeff
