And 5000ms ping times to the U.S. East Coast sure makes posting this story tricky ;) Apparently the cracker managed to get into SourceForge and Apache.org too ... and he posted user accounts and passwords on t.o along with a rant that I haven't seen.

It was hacked about a week ago .. along with an Apache.org machine..an a few others. It should be back up soon..but I am sure they are going over it with a fine toothed comb. * Donald G.

Not sure, most likely upgrading especially after the "incident".
