From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why?
They bombarded my mailbox with alt right nazi spam. It was an obvious data breach but they keep saying ”no user data was compromised”. Who’s gonna believe that?
I thought it was just bots spamming comments on issues. See https://blog.codeberg.org/we-stay-strong-against-hate-and-hatred.html Also I would believe that since codeberg is run by volunteers in a non-profit organization.
That spam was a troll who found a loophole in the notification system. It was obviously not a data breach. That's clear to anyone who's worked with software databases or web servers.
How was it an obvious data breach? The attack was done via Codebergs notification system. It's no different from the notification you got from me writing this comment.
How is that an obvious databreach? It was just bot spam, something every single public site has had issues with.
