it's right there, on the web site:

SILC Project -> Contact Us -> Security Issues at security@silcnet.org=20

the file was _NOT_ touched since it was released.  we never re-release
tarballs under the same version for this precise reason.

checksums of the file in the master download area match the checksums
in the FreeBSD ports tree.  there is no reason to believe the file (or
the machine) was compromised.

 $ cksum -a sha256 silc-toolkit-1.0.2.tar.bz2
 SHA256 (silc-toolkit-1.0.2.tar.bz2) =3D 45b289f2c328378e5fbdfc394ff71cbb66=

 $ cksum -a md5 silc-toolkit-1.0.2.tar.bz2
 MD5 (silc-toolkit-1.0.2.tar.bz2) =3D 869ce01349444a28fbace3c1bfe745ff
 $ cat silc-toolkit-1.0.2.tar.bz2.md5
 869ce01349444a28fbace3c1bfe745ff  silc-toolkit-1.0.2.tar.bz2

everything seems to indicate a local problem.
