[TYPO3-english] TYPO3.ORG hacked

[Marcel Douwstra]

Hi,

seems like too much of an coincident that I got this security warning 
last night : http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/32284/discuss

If this is the reason typo3.org was "intruded" than TYPO3 was also the 
problem and not just social engineering.
