The Linux foundation is back,

Postby viking60 » 10 Oct 2011, 11:34

ImageLinux.com is back after having been hacked. The cleanup toke a month and they toke it seriously. I bet it will be a long time until something similar happens again.
Linux.com is now forcing everyone (every connection) to encryption (HTTPS/TLS). And all users are required to set new passwords on their accounts.
This happens even if they claimed that all existing passwords were hashed at the time of the hack.

Yes but the mirrors.kernel.org host for the nearby SF big, fast mirror of Mandriva is still nowhere to be found :( and it looks like only two devels have re-made their accounts on the page where I sometimes look for kinky kernel stuff :arrow: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ (axboe & jcm, as of now).

How many used to have an account there? They used GitHub as a temporary solution I think.....

Oh, I never counted but I had to scroll the page to see all the people. When drilling down, I could see many directories only had very old material, so it could be many will not get restored, idk. I saw some report about the interim means of providing ongoing development but I'm not so concerned with any of this, just making small talk! ;p
