If you are a #xubuntu user like me, all's good and our distro carries on another day. Xubuntu's website is now delinquent proof.

Xubuntu's website was compromised in October, with torrent links replaced by a ZIP containing Windows malware.

Now, the team share a report on how the breach was able to happen - and what they're doing to prevent a repeat.

Xubuntu confirms a malicious ZIP was served in October and is switching to the Hugo static site generator to prevent similar attacks.

J'ai pas pu tout lire mais c'est intéressant qu'un journal comme le Figaro se penche sur le sujet :
