GitHub Gentoo Organization Hacked

Longtime Slashdot reader Chutzpah shares a report from Gentoo Linux, a Linux distribution built using the Portage package management system: June 28 at approximately 20:20 UTC unknown individuals have gained control of the Github Gentoo organization, and modified the content of repositories as well as pages there. We are still working to determine the exact extent and to regain control of the organization and its repositories. All Gentoo code hosted on GitHub should for the moment be considered compromised. This does NOT affect any code hosted on the Gentoo infrastructure. Since the master Gentoo ebuild repository is hosted on our own infrastructure and since Github is only a mirror for it, you are fine as long as you are using rsync or webrsync from gentoo.org. Details are sparse, but we will update this story once we learn more.
