Linux Foundation Hit by Attack

“The Linux Foundation has shutdown both the Linux.com and
LinuxFoundation.org websites after discovering a potential security
breach.

The Linux Foundation alerted its users in an email sent Sunday
night, reporting that a security breach was discovered on September
8th. The breach may have compromised user information including
passwords and email addresses.

According to the Linux Foundation, the breach is connected to
the attack on the kernel.org site which was first publicly reported
last week. Though the breach was just discovered last week, the
actual attack on kernel.org may have occurred as early as August
12th. It’s unclear at this point, when the Linux Foundation’s sites
were breached.
