Scrum.org hacked, may have lost crypto keys and some user data

Posted on June 1, 2016 by Dissent

Simon Sharwood  reports:

Scrum.org, the Scrum certification and training site run by Scrum co-creator Ken Schwaber, appears to have contacted users to warn them of a nasty security breach.

Reg reader “KB” has sent us an email sent to Scrum.org members and customers that says “On May 26, 2016, we noticed an issue with the Scrum.org website outgoing mail server.”

“Upon investigation, we determined that emails used to communicate initial passwords were not being sent. After further investigation, our information technology professionals discovered that some of our mail server settings had been modified and found one new administrator user account.”
