Subject: [defaced-commentary] Trinux site defaced


On November 11, 2001, a defacer known as "w00tx0rs" defaced the home
page for 'Trinux'. Since the defacement, the site has not responded to
any attempts to load the web page.

Site maintainer Matthew Franz posted regarding this:
http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/SourceForge/4975/0/7054216/

If for some reason you've run across http://www.trinux.org, you will not
find the friendly penguin there. 

This is either one of two things:
1) DNS screwup
2) Compromise of ISP/Web Hosting folks

I either case your best bet is you use the Sourceforge site until
further notice (http://trinux.sf.net) and I would *not* use
http://www.trinux.org/pkg/ (although it doesn't appear to work) for
package loading.

Thanks
