Dear openSUSE community, For 45 minutes on October 1st, the openSUSE website was defaced by an Internet attacker. The attacker exploited a vulnerability with a blogging application that was running on the same server as the www.openSUSE.org home page. The servers were taken offline when the attack was detected and were replaced with new servers so that the attack could be studied in more detail by our forensics team. We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused while bringing the new servers on line. Our distribution, SUSE Linux, the SUSE Linux build system or any other services below the opensuse.org domain were not exposed to attack at any time. The wiki was the only openSUSE service that was compromised. We have restored the wiki and are back to business as usual. Thank you for your continued support The openSUSE team -- Adrian Schroeter Project Manager openSUSE SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de
