Debian Linux Servers Compromised

Some of the servers that help run the Debian Linux project were compromised over the weekend. Interestingly, http://www.debian.org was not one of the compromised servers.

Apparently, the release that was prepared and about to be released, Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody), release 3.0r2, has been checked and is fine, so the damage appears to be short term as they carefully review each server before putting them back online.
