SECURITY Breach On The Ubuntu Forums


Hi Folks:

I just found out from a friend of mine that there has been a security breach on the Ubuntu Forums. The Canonical IS team is working hard to restore normal operations.
He told me that:
Unfortunately the attackers have gotten every user's local username, password, and email address from the Ubuntu Forums database.

If you have an account with them seriously change your password
ASAIK the site is down now but this help page may be of use-
