Only some vague information. But the images of the server will go to our security team, so we will know more exactly later. However, it was not
No, I made it up because I hate SUSE :) I didn't see it myself, but there were a number of messages about it on both the opensuse and suse-linux-e lists. Adrian Schröter from SUSE posted, acknowledging that it had happened: the

Hacked does not mean that the machine was Øwened. It means they did something to it that should not have been possible. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
