What I find ironic is that first they spout off about this being a deliberate
industrial espionage attack, then they say that the integrity of their source
wasn't compromised. One report estimates that they had been compromised for
more than 3 months. With that type of exposure, how can they know that? I'm
surprised they even admitted it.
They're source was in bad enough shape to begin with, even with out the
potential of compromise. Hmmm, maybe this will prompt them to do a complete
source code audit and clean things up.... Nahhhhh! :)
