Linux Australia calls for password change after server breach

The president of open-source software user group Linux Australia has called on registered attendees of the organisation’s conferences for the past three years to change their passwords after it was discovered that the server hosting its conference management system had been breached.

According to Linux Australia president Joshua Hesketh, the breach was discovered after a large number of error reporting emails were sent on March 22 by the server hosting the Zookeepr conference management systems for a number of Linux Australia’s conferences.
