> As you are probably aware we have been working to restore services
> that have been compromised by a very targetted attack against Apache's
> jira installation.  The good news is that jira is back online, with
> bugzilla and confluence soon to follow [2].  The bad news is that the
> hacker was able to rejigger jira's code to sniff any cookies and
> passwords sent to the server between April 6 and April 9.  If you
> used jira at all this week, including via IDE's that interface via
> SOAP, it is IMPERATIVE that you take time to immediately reset your
> jira password, and possibly your ldap password if those match up.
> If you have admin privs in jira your password was reset by us, so
> you'll need to use the password reset form in jira to regain access.

> When you do login to jira be sure to double-check your contact info.
> 
> To change your ldap password login to people.apache.org and run
> /usr/sbin/passwd, or else visit https://svn.apache.org/change-password

> Thanks for your patience and diligence in this matter.  A blog post
