A developer of some Ruby Gems pulled the code as a statement against certain entities (Department of Homeland Security — DHS) ultimately using the code. Chef gets owned in the process.

ZDNet has a good rundown of the incident:

It seems that developers at chef may have used an old copy of the dev's code to get things back up and running again, which seems like exactly the wrong approach.

    You obviously didn't notice the first part of that comment linked to a story titled "Webmin Backdoored for Over a Year."

    I did not. But that doesn't invalidate my post. In fact, I think it dovetailed nicely with GP's.

    What's more, I upmodded GP once I saw the posting to which the link pointed.
