The compromise of the Gentoo's GitHubmirror was certainly embarrassing, but its overall impact on Gentoo userswas likely fairly limited. Gentoo and GitHub respondedquickly and forcefully to the breach, which greatly limited the damagethat could be done; the fact that it was a mirror and not the master copyof Gentoo's repositories made it relatively straightforward to recoverfrom. But the black eye that it gave the project has led some to consider waysto make it even harder for an attacker to add malicious content toGentoo-even if the distribution's own infrastructure were to becompromised.
