No i don't think so !

if i understand correctly (iiuc) then it's a wiki and somebody
may have spammed the front page.

In the IRC log, it appears that corecode|polachok observed this
and fixed the front page.


thanks
Saifi.

It was a defacement through an exploit in ikiwiki, because the markup 
had not been changed.  We're looking into it.

Hi Simon:

In most cases the wiki software does not need to run as root.

You mention the possibility of an exploit, the stuff documented at 
http://ikiwiki.info/security/ talks about a 'pending git backend audit'.


thanks
Saifi.

Seems polachok raced me with restoring the site, so I had the impression 
that the html had been changed, but not the mkdn.  Seems that was not 
the case, so no exploit.
