“From the ‘Dodging Bullets’ files:

“The Red Hat sponsored Fedora community Linux project has
suffered a security incident in which its infrastructure was
compromised.

“No need to worry — to much — according to Fedora the risk is
minimal.

“”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,” Fedora Project Leader Jared Smith
stated.”
