Some Debian Project machines compromised                press@debian.org

Some Debian Project machines have been compromised

This is a very unfortunate incident to report about.  Some Debian
servers were found to have been compromised in the last 24 hours.

The archive is not affected by this compromise!

In particular the following machines have been affected:

  . master (Bug Tracking System)
    . murphy (mailing lists)
      . gluck (web, cvs)
        . klecker (security, non-us, web search, www-master)

	Some of these services are currently not available as the
	machines
	undergo close inspection.  Some services have been moved to
	other
	machines (www.debian.org for example).

	The security archive will be verified from trusted sources
	before it
	will become available again.

	Please note that we have recently prepared a new point release
	for
	Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody), release 3.0r2.  While it has not
	been
	announced yet, it has been pushed to our mirrors already.  The
	announcement was scheduled for this morning but had to be
	postponed.
	This update has now been checked and it is not affected by the
	compromise.

	We apologise for the disruptions of some services over the next
	few
	days.  We are working on restoring the services and verifying
	the
	content of our archives.


	Contact Information
