The Ubuntu Forum was hacked a couple of days ago- http://ubuntuforums.org/announce.html which led to a discussion about how secure Linux actually is. A question arises in my mind is: how vulnerable are our mailing lists/forum(s) seeing as how openSUSE MLs are also using vBulletin (an earlier version than the Ubuntu one, BTW). More discussion led to this URL- http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ With regards to this last URL, how does openSUSE fair? I just looked at the archive for opensuse-security mail list (and subscribed to it) but for the month of July only see some fixes to what appear to be apps from 'third parties'. Is openSUSE 'watertight'? :-) BC -- Using openSUSE 12.3, KDE 4.11.0 & kernel 3.10.1-3 on a system with- AMD FX 8-core 3.6/4.2GHz processor 16GB PC14900/1866MHz Quad Channel Corsair "Vengeance" RAM Gigabyte AMD3+ m/board; Gigabyte nVidia GTX550Ti 1GB DDR5 GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
