SourceForge.net Attack Update
January 27th, 2011
As we mentioned yesterday, we have discovered that sourceforge.net was attacked and several servers were compromised.
From one perspective a lot has changed since then: We understand more about what happened, and what we can do to prevent it from happening again.
From another perspective not much has changed: We’re doing the same things as we were last night: working to chart the full extent of the attack, to validate data against known good backups, and to protect the majority of our services.
CVS, ViewVC, file release uploads, and interactive shell services are still disabled while we do the work to make sure our servers and services are hardened against future attacks like this.
All in all we’ve made a lot of progress, and expect to have more detail to report tomorrow.
Thanks so much for your patience and support,
– The SourceForge.net team
