+          Dear users,<br />
+
+          I'm sorry to report that one of our important machine from the
+          Frugalware infrastrucere was compromised on August 25. I took
+          a while till we found out the details how that was possible,
+          read <a
+            
href="http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.frugalware.devel/9899";>here</a> if 
you're interested.<br />
+
+          In short: we found that the attacker installed a backdoor
+          similar to kernel.org one, and we already reinstalled the
+          machine, plus took steps to prevent such a similar attack in
+          the future.<br />
+
+          On the bright side, we verified that none of the Frugalware
+          Git repos nor the binary packages were modified during the
+          attack, so you don't have to fear the Pacman-G2 installed any
+          problematic update to your machines.<br />
+
+          Thanks for your understanding.
