Security breach: Kernel.org and Linux Foundation remain "temporarily unavailable"

[DainBramaged]

The Linux world is in a bit of a security spinout at the moment.

Last month, the brains behind the Linux kernel discovered malware on the PC of at least one kernel maintainer, as well as on some of the kernel.org servers themselves.

Now, the Linux Foundation, a not-for-profit which bankrolls the main developers of Linux so that they can remain independent of any particular vendor or commercial group, is in the security soup, too.

The Linux Foundation sites have been replaced with holding pages since late last week, suggesting that finding out what actually happened hasn't been as easy as the Foundation's techies might have hoped.
