The GNU Project, principally sponsored by the Free Software Foundation
(FSF), produces a variety of freely available software. The CERT/CC has
learned that the system housing the primary FTP servers for the GNU software
project, gnuftp.gnu.org, was root compromised by an intruder. The more
common host names of ftp.gnu.org and alpha.gnu.org are aliases for the same
compromised system. The compromise is reported to have occurred in March of
2003.
