Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I light of the break-in at Yahoo, and the recent conversations about Yahoo's use of FreeBSD, does anyone know how they managed to get in? I can make some guesses (hole in applications, sniffing for passwords, physical compromise of passwords, etc.), but I thought I would ask. Just want to make sure there isn't some hidden security hole that hasn't been plugged. I haven't heard anything from the news sources about FreeBSD or how they got in. I certainly wish we could say that since they were switched to WindozeNT, they were cracked ;) But they are still running FreeBSD, AFAIK. No cause for alarm, just curiosity!
