This can't be true, Linus Torvalds (the most arrogant S.O.B. I have ever heard speak) has told us time and time again that Linux is "Rock Solid".

Aint nuthin perfect, and aint nuthin that can't be hacked !!

I told y'all that Windows sucks. Billy Bob cares nothing about us poor users. He just wants our money. He doesn't care about security. Linux RULEZ! Uh, wait a minute...

The attack took place in March, but was only discovered in late July.

What a colossal failure of security. This was the primary distribution point on the web for Linux utilities, and they will have a very hard time proving that trojans weren't imbedded into the source code repositories at some point over the last six months, even if they no longer exist.
