Perlmonks website hacked. All passwords have been disclosed!

[Michael Thomas]

Hmm note something else though:
You are advised to change your password, as first aid, but be aware that
the security breach is as yet unfixed, so it is possible that passwords
will be compromised again. 

If you have used your perlmonks password anywhere else, you are strongly
advised to change those passwords as well. And please use strong
passwords!

Subject: Perlmonks website hacked. All passwords have been disclosed!

As Perl developers, you might also have an account on PerlMonks:

http://www.perlmonks.org/

Unfortunately, the user database of this site has been compromised and
it seems that they saved the passwords in clear text.

According to the info on their web page:
*all perlmonks users are advised to change their perlmonks.org passwords
immediately.*

Note: I received the information from PAUSE (Perl Authors Upload
Server):
> This email is being sent to inform you that all passwords on the
popular
> Perl Monks website were compromised.  Many CPAN authors have accounts
> there and in some cases have used the same password for PAUSE.
