Linux Foundation: attack on the server and offline services

The Linux Foundation servers were attacked on 8 September and we still have an impact on the functionality of the various websites operated. At the moment it is not yet clear the nature and dangers of now and has not yet been made an assessment of damages.
All users of Linux.com and Linux Foundation. Or were asked to substitute its own password used to login following an attack because it seems that the database login credentials have been compromised. When you are making the complete reinstallation of the server used by the foundation, and only when this operation will be completed will be re-enabled web services.

The Linux Foundation informs that at the moment are being investigated with the internal collaboration of American and European in order to identify the authors of this important operation. We recall that only a few weeks ago had been an attack against kernel.org and between the two initiatives could be some connections.
