It had to be re-installed. You probably know that since you've read
the announcement we were able to send out before the machine was taken
down for reinstallation.

You'll find the same information linked on the front-page. Since the
web infrastructure was affected as well, but you already knew that
since it was mentioned in the announcement, it was not that easy
updating the web server. However, after a day we finally managed to
do that.

As you know http://www.debian.org/security/ if for security
announcements regarding the packages Debian distributes. It has
nothing to do with the security on the Debian machines. Hence, it's
the wrong place.

Join #debian on any IRC network and see if somebody can relay some new
information. Alternative: wait until the admin team manages to
resurrect the machines and services.
