Ubuntu Forums Hacked

[Lindsay Mathieson]

>From http://ubuntuforums.org/announce.html

There has been a security breach on the Ubuntu Forums. The Canonical IS team 
is working hard as we speak to restore normal operations. This page will be 
updated regularly with progress reports.
What we know
Unfortunately the attackers have gotten every user's local username, password, 
and email address from the Ubuntu Forums database.
The passwords are not stored in plain text. However, if you were using the 
same password as your Ubuntu Forums one on another service (such as email), 
you are strongly encouraged to change the password on the other service ASAP.
Ubuntu One, Launchpad and other Ubuntu/Canonical services are NOT affected by 
the breach.
