not too long ago - just before Christmas, where everything was going

> Sourceforge just sent an e-mail a couple of days ago explaining that their servers had been hacked and asking users to change their passwords.  They said they hadn't detected any successful malicious activity, but perhaps the attackers managed to slip a few trojans into sf.net downloads (which seems like a good idea if you want to spread your trojan quickly and widely).
