[Vlaanderen] perlmonks.org compromised today - please follow procedure mentioned below...

[DirkDn]

Hi,

"Perl Monks was compromised. They stored passwords in clear text (wtf,
really) and zf0 published a list of passwords in zf05.txt that you can find
just about everywhere right now.

Change your password, keeping in mind that probably the site probably still
isn't safe. It would just be to keep people from using the
published passwords. I hope that soon, the PM devs will announce that the
site is fixed, after which everyone should change their password again.

But more importantly: if you used the same password elsewhere, change it at
the other sites too, this time to something unique"*

With kind regards.
DirkDn
