Ubuntu forum hacked

[Thorn]

Canonical's Ubuntu Forum Hacked, User Personal Information Compromised - HotHardware

1.800.000+ registered users.... As far i know they used vbulletin too.

Wonder it is a vbulletin hack or something internal. As open source project for sure more people had higher access privileges.

Well, it shows 2 things:

- use unique throw away passwords for the single services you use
- do *not* use passwords but ssh keys for your work
