A security update from the Freenode infrastructure team

A freenode volunteer identified a suspected compromise of their e-mailaccounts, which could have provided an unauthorized user with limited accessto some data sent through internal e-mail systems. "Naturally, weinstigated audit procedures immediately so as to ensure the security of theproduction network and accompanying infrastructure. The investigation isongoing, but at this time we have no reason to believe that any otherunauthorised access was gained. Nevertheless, in the interests oftransparency and security for our users, we wish to notify anyone who mayhave been affected." It is recommended that you change yourFreenode password as a precaution.
