RedHat.com Servers Infiltrated – Time for Novell’s big move?
I was going about my day at work and went to go on www.redhat.com, only to find out that “The site is temporarily unavaliable. Please try back later.”
I thought nothing of it, until I tried to go on 30 minutes later and got the same message. home improvement discount . My initial thought was “they got hacked” as they sent out the critical notification about the rhn leak they had the other day. I checked a few hours later, to find the same message with an update static page that gave me support numbers. I later found this article explaining the infiltration. So why doesn’t redhat.com have anything on their front page? (vmware did this when they had their Aug 12th blow up!). I guess a great question would be “What would Novell Do?”. They are the other major players in the Enterprise environment. Do we believe that Novell would have been honest and upfront and notified all users ASAP? I have yet to get an email from my RedHat Rep (I got one within HOURS of the Aug 12th discovery from my VMware rep) and I don’t see any details on the redhat.com page. I think this is a huge opportunity for Novell to step in, and talk about the security of their online updates etc.
