CentOS on the systems intrusions at Red Hat

CentOS has sent out a notice reassuring its users that it was not affected by the recent problems at Red Hat and Fedora. "We take security issues very seriously, and as soon as we were made aware of the situation I undertook a complete audit of the entire CentOS4/5 Build and Signing infrastructure. We can now assure everyone that no compromise has taken place anywhere within the CentOS Infrastructure. Our entire setup is located behind multiple firewalls, and only accessible from a very small number of places, by only a few people. Also included in this audit were all entry points to the build services, signing machines, primary release machines and connectivity between all these hosts."
