Yes, I can confirm this happened last night. We were immediately
informed by those who did it including how it was achieved. The
penetration mechanism was not a vulnerability in FreeBSD and was
corrected immediately. While we don't believe that any malicious
activity took place while the machine was compromised, we've taken
steps to sanitize things anyway.

P.S. This kind of thing would have been better sent to
security-officer..for example, it's off-topic for -stable.
