2025-10-30 Thread Brian Proffitt 
This just came in. I am not convinced this real, so first off, confirmation
that something like this is even possible?

What data would they even steal?

Subject: Request for Comment on Akira Ransomware Claim Involving Apache
OpenOffice
To: 


Hi Team,

This is Waqas from Hackread.com, a London, UK based cybersecurity magazine.
We’re covering a developing story in which the Akira ransomware group has
claimed to have breached Apache OpenOffice and stolen around 23GB of
internal data.

Our report is available here:
https://hackread.com/akira-ransomware-stole-apache-openoffice-data/

Could you please confirm whether Apache Software Foundation is aware of
this claim, and if so, whether there is any indication of unauthorized
access or data compromise within your systems?

If you have an official statement or are planning to release one, I’d
appreciate it if you could share it with us for inclusion in our report.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Waqas

getting Release 4.1.16 out (was Fwd: request)

2025-08-09 Thread Peter Kovacs 

Hi all.
Thanks Brian for forwarding.

@Riccardo
currently we have no fixed date, but i use your mail to open a 
discussion about the release.


@devs

I do not see any security issues in development that are about to be 
finished and we will be able to backport them. So i would opt for 
release what we have here.
The copy & paste issue (Issue 128612) damjan is focusing on, i do not 
see a quick progress.

i am not aware on any other development that would affect 4.1.16.
Are there issues we should wait foran i did not mention?
Are we willed to close development for Version 4.1.16?

Test phase would be next.
Arrigo mentioned something needs to be tested.
can maybe start Testing?
@czeslaw would you be willing to check the security issues that Arrigo 
has fixed?


@Riccardo would you be willing to help with testing the 4.1.16?

Who else is available for testing the release?


all the best
Peter
