“Summary: Fedora infrastructure intrusion but no impact on
product integrity“On January 22, 2011 a Fedora contributor received an email from
the Fedora Accounts System indicating that his account details had
been changed. He contacted the Fedora Infrastructure Team
indicating that he had received the email, but had not made changes
to his FAS account. The Infrastructure Team immediately began
investigating, and confirmed that the account had indeed been
compromised.“At this time, the Infrastructure Team has evidence that
indicates the account credentials were compromised externally, and
that the Fedora Infrastructure was not subject to any code
vulnerability or exploit.”
