GNU Savannah Site Compromised 99
Trailrunner7 writes "A site belonging to the Savannah GNU free software archive was attacked recently, leading to a compromise of encrypted passwords and enabling the attackers to access restricted project material. The compromise was the result of a SQL injection attack against the savannah.gnu.org site within the last couple of days and the site is still offline now. A notice on the site says that the group has finished the process of restoring all of the data from a clean backup and bringing up access to some resources, but is still in the middle of adjusting its security settings."

I thought Linux was always 100% secure, completely unhackable, because they're the admins are experts and the software has built in security! You mean ... it's not true?
Maybe this one runs HURD.

Well, we know how the author pronounces SQL now; I have always preferred "an SQL injection"---that is, "S.Q.L."
What, you don't mentally pronounce all acronyms? Well, now, aren't you just a SOB.
