The problem with the news item that it completely misses the fact about security breach.
The purpose to make this visible on python.org instead of only wiki.python.org is to urge people to change their passwords. Current message fails to convey this. The announcement text: - http://wiki.python.org taken down for recovery The Python wiki has been taken offline for recovery operations. Please see the PSF blog <http://pyfound.blogspot.com/>for details and updates. + Report on security attack on Python Wiki On the XX December the MoinMoin instance that served python.org wikies has been compromised, all wiki data were erased. Edits over last XX months are lost, and the wiki VM is taken offline for recovery. Everybody is asked to change your python.org passwords as soon as possible if you use the same one for other services.
