The Ubuntu Forums currently redirects to this message:

"
* Unfortunately the attackers have gotten every user's local username, password,
and email address from the Ubuntu Forums database.
* The passwords are not stored in plain text. However, if you were using the
same password as your Ubuntu Forums one on another service (such as email), you
are strongly encouraged to change the password on the other service ASAP.
* Ubuntu One, Launchpad and other Ubuntu/Canonical services are NOT affected by
the breach."



I try to answer a few questions on the forums every week - a small part of
"giving back to the community."  It also keeps me plugged into the issues
happening in this distro.

Anyway, another breach. Time to disable another email alias.
