| phillw | Noskcaj: are you a member of xubuntu-users mailing list? | 01:46 |
|---|---|---|
| phillw | I think is it smartboyhw ( or possibly knome who is ) | 01:47 |
| TheLordOfTime | guys, don't freak out with phillw's message | 01:51 |
| TheLordOfTime | i spoke to cariboo and IS has randomized the pws. | 01:51 |
| TheLordOfTime | and they're not loading the forums back up until they have addressed everything and investigated thoroughly. | 01:52 |
| Noskcaj | phillw, i probably am | 02:10 |
| phillw | TheLordOfTime: Unfortunately the attackers have gotten every user's local username, password, and email address from the Ubuntu Forums database. | 02:14 |
| phillw | I'm not freaking out... | 02:14 |
| TheLordOfTime | phillw: honestly though how many people used ubuntuforums? | 02:15 |
| * TheLordOfTime very very rarely looked at the forums 'cept for the "Ban the user above you" forum game | 02:15 | |
| phillw | TheLordOfTime: over 10,000 last time I looked at the stats | 02:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | phillw: i mean how many from the QA team | 02:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | :P | 02:16 |
| phillw | TheLordOfTime: as we have a section on there for uubntu+1, I'd guess quite a few of us have forum accounts. | 02:17 |
| phillw | TheLordOfTime: our wiki pages point to the ubuntu forum area, so once they have read up and read the area, how many do join? That, I do not know. Alert people to a complete compromise?... Yes, I should and stand by my decision to do so. | 02:21 |
| TheLordOfTime | phillw: or perhaps not use ubuntuforums in future? | 02:22 |
| TheLordOfTime | they're on VB4 which is... old afaict | 02:22 |
| phillw | TheLordOfTime: and, of course, askubuntu could never be hacked.... This is not a discussion of the merits of support areas, it is an announcement that an area that some of us use has been compromised. Not a drama... just as sad fact of life. | 02:25 |
| phillw | my views on VB have been made known, I'd much rather they use phpBB3. But, those are my views and I do not make the final decision :D | 02:27 |
| TheLordOfTime | phillw: yeah well it's canonical IS that decides | 02:29 |
| phillw | TheLordOfTime: And I honestly biting my tongue to stop me saying "I told you so"... It's not my department... | 02:32 |
| TheLordOfTime | :P | 02:32 |
| phillw | I actually shudder to think who actually decided to have commerical software instead of F/OSS... but, Meh, that's why I do not get too angry about what has happened. It will, at least, make them have a re-think. | 02:36 |
