Linux Foundation infrastructure including LinuxFoundation.org,
Linux.com, and their subdomains are down for maintenance due to a
security breach that was discovered on September 8, 2011. The Linux
Foundation made this decision in the interest of extreme caution and
security best practices. We believe this breach was connected to the
intrusion on kernel.org.

We are in the process of restoring services in a secure manner as
quickly as possible. As with any intrusion and as a matter of caution,
you should consider the passwords and SSH keys that you have used on
these sites compromised. If you have reused these passwords on other
sites, please change them immediately. We are currently auditing all
systems and will update this statement when we have more information.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We are taking this matter
seriously and appreciate your patience. The Linux Foundation
infrastructure houses a variety of services and programs including
Linux.com, Open Printing, Linux Mark, Linux Foundation events and
others, but does not include the Linux kernel or its code
repositories.

Please contact us at [email protected] with questions about this matter.

Attention Linux.com and LinuxFoundation.org users,

We are writing you because you have an account on Linux.com,
LinuxFoundation.org, or one of the subdomains associated with these domains.
On September 8, 2011, we discovered a security breach that may have
compromised your username, password, email address and other information you
have given to us. We believe this breach was connected to the intrusion on
kernel.org.

As with any intrusion and as a matter of caution, you should consider the
passwords and SSH keys that you have used on these sites compromised. If you
have reused these passwords on other sites, please change them immediately.
We are currently auditing all systems and will update public statements when
we have more information.

We have taken all Linux Foundation servers offline to do complete
re-installs. Linux Foundation services will be put back up as they become
available. We are working around the clock to expedite this process and are
working with authorities in the United States and in Europe to assist with
the investigation.

The Linux Foundation takes the security of its infrastructure and that of
its members extremely seriously and are pursuing all avenues to investigate
this attack and prevent future ones. We apologize for this inconvenience and
will communicate updates as we have them.

Please contact us at [email protected] with questions about this
matter.

The Linux Foundation
