The portage and ebuild repositories were not hacked so there shouldn’t be too many, if any, users affected. A user would have to sync against the GitHub rather than the official domain.

I read an article about this yesterday. Users seem for the most part unaffected but what a nightmare for the devs and another day of bad press for GitHub.

I’m sure Microsoft will get Dr. Watson on this, stat.

IKR? Haha!
I thought it would have been better to get Mr Clippy on the job?
It would be interesting to know the connection between the hackers and Gentoo. Why hack Gentoo?
I haven’t seen any connection, just some speculation that a Gentoo dev may have accidentally put some sensitive information on the GitHub page.
I’m sure there are people that specifically seek those sorts of mistakes out.
I agree, nothing better to than cause havoc.
