helium.ruby-lang.org was cracked
Posted by Shugo Maeda on 29 May 2004
On Fri May 28, we found that someone cracked helium.ruby-lang.org via CVS.
Fortunately, the cvs process was running in the chroot environment, so the affects to other services/contents were not so probable, but we are confirming it now. Currently there are no interpolations found out of the chroot environment.
The most worrisome contents are the CVS repositories, but these distributions are not affected at least.

The mailing list services are restarted, but CVS/WWW/FTP/RSYNC are stopped yet, sorry.
Further information will be provided on https://www.ruby-lang.org/. For more information, send mail to admin@ruby-lang.org please.
