Gentoo Github Hacked

[TheSkateyBird]

PSA to any of you that are currently using Gentoo and haven't seen their news.

The Gentoo Github has been compromised by hackers and is currently unreachable. It has been noted that some ebuilds have had the line "rm -rf /*" prefixed to them.

Here is the report from the Gentoo website: https://www.gentoo.org/news/2018/06/28/Github-gentoo-org-hacked.html

Key line regarding syncing:

This does NOT affect any code hosted on the Gentoo infrastructure. Since the master Gentoo ebuild repository is hosted on our own infrastructure and since Github is only a mirror for it, you are fine as long as you are using rsync or webrsync from gentoo.org.
