Fedora Linux suffers a security incident - compromise risk is minimal (InternetNews.com)
Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1] news on a recent Fedoraproject.org credential compromise:
"Long story short is that a Fedora contributor had his/her credentials stolen and then an attacker began to use those credentials to attempt to tamper with the Fedora infrastructure. Due to the limited privileges of the exploited account (and some good luck) it appears as though there has been no risk to Fedora's build or infrastructure."

Einbruch in Fedoras Infrastruktur
Henrik Heigl forwarded[1] a press release in German about the security breach:
"Das Linux-Projekt Fedora hat einen Einbruch in seine Infrastruktur bestätigt[2], es habe jedoch keine Manipulationen an Software-Projekten gegeben. Der oder die unbekannten Täter haben laut einer Stellungnahme von Jared K. Smith offenbar über gestohlene Zugangsdaten den Weg in das Fedora-Projekt gefunden. Auf den Einbruch sei man aufmerksam geworden, weil ein Mitarbeiter vom Fedora-Accounts-System eine Nachricht bekam, es seien Kontodaten geändert worden."
