Linux.com hacked and temporarily offline

Linux.com hacked and temporarily offline

Under linux.com, and the respective subdomains linuxfoundation.org you
get no current websites of the Linux Foundation to see, but only a
security notice: On 8 September, you've discovered a burglary and
therefore the server is temporarily removed from power. Anyone talking
to one of the sites shut down a user account, also received an email
warning - all the passwords and SSH keys could be compromised and should
not be used.

The Linux Foundation has now discovered a link between the attack and
the burglary at her Kernel.org. There was 28 August noticed that a
hacker could surreptitiously apparently root privileges on the server.
