[dupe] Github Gentoo organization hacked (gentoo.org)

Here's some clarification from Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeffhubbs/status/1012450212105850880

As mentioned by wtallis, this is a Github only problem. Gentoo hosts their own infra, with the Github org being nothing more than a downstream mirror.


That would seem to warrant a title change for clarity by itself, but the article being referenced by this submission also clearly says (the and submission URL slug even says) "Github Gentoo organization hacked".


It was originally titled "Gentoo Linux Organization Has Been Hacked" when I made that post :)


Which is odd, because I first noted in my comment that it might have changed, then I noticed the article slug HN had matched the page title at the time I was commenting, so I edited it to note that instead. I figured if the article slug used that wording, it was likely the title at posting time, and it was unlikely to have changed and changed back, but I guess either that happened, or HN updates links when it finds permanent redirects (assuming an old URL exists and redirects).

In any case, thanks for the submission. :)


Title needs to mention that this is specifically the github organization account, not Gentoo in general.
