wiki.php.net is compromised

    Free translation news:
    wiki.php.net was compromised and the attackers managed to collect data from accounts. Other subsections of the php.net infrastructure, according to our data, were not affected. Our main concern now is the integrity of the source. We conducted all kinds of checks for each commit since the release of php version 5.3.5 to make sure that the stolen accounts were not used to inject malicious codes - everything is in order. Compromised machines were cleared, all passwords for accounts in SVN were changed.
    We are continuing to investigate the attack, which was a combination of using a vulnerability in the software engine of the Wiki section and an exploit for Linux to gain administrator rights.

    UPD: 03.20, 10:20 - wiki.php.net and windows.php.net are still not available (yes, the page for Windows users was also unavailable yesterday, but I noticed this even before reading the news, and after thought of linking). These are just my observations - maybe someone else noticed something?
