In a security alert released on its website yesterday, developers of the Gentoo Linux distribution warned users not to use code from its GitHub account, as some "unknown individuals" had gained its control on 28 June at 20:20 UTC and "modified the content of repositories as well as pages there.".... https://thehackernews.com/2018/06/gentoo-linux-github.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
