kernel.org website hacked - inittux - 2011-09-12
Linux website kernel.org has been hacked and is offline. The hackers managed to get root user access.
Kernel.org is offline; They are still investigating the attack and making backups and doing reinstalls
I wonder what effect this hack will have on linux and linux users?No online system is safe, everything
can be hacked but if kernel.org got hacked and their security must be high. What are the chances of
your system or my system getting hacked?
