The popular Ubuntu Forums site is now displaying a message saying there was a security breach. What is currently known: Unfortunately the attackers have gotten every user's local username, password, and email address from the Ubuntu Forums database. The passwords are not stored in plain text.

Ubuntu One, Launchpad and other Ubuntu/Canonical services are NOT affected by the breach.
