SourceForge hacked, but not to worry(?)
Submitted by srlinuxx on Fri, 12/07/2007 - 12:53.
Valleywag reports that SourceForge.net was hacked Wednesday, resulting in site downtime while SourceForge tracked down the hacker. SourceForge's Ross Turk confirms the report:
We played a game of cat and mouse with a "security enthusiast" from Europe yesterday.
No harm done, though, and everything's running smoothly.
Given that projects upload their code to the SourceForge repository on a regular basis, there's not any serious cause for concern that a security breach would be a long-term threat.
Also:
Sourceforge has always been more about traffic than money.
No more.
