Trinux site defaced

Thu, 15 Nov 2001 06:43:27 -0700 (MST)

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.
