Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2018-07-26 13:11:11 UTC
I've learned today that the following site seems to be hosting a severely outdated Gentoo Wiki mirror:  I've learned this because one of the proxied maintainers has been apparently led to use this site instead of the official Wiki.

https://www.linuxsecrets.com/gentoo-wiki/

The site seems to be a spider-generated mirror synced sometime in 2017 (it's possible we simply banned the spider generating it).  It is indistinguishable from our official Wiki.  It seems that the JavaScript menus don't work, so I don't think they're trying to steal user credentials.

Could we please issue an official request to remove this or explicitly indicate it's not the official site?

They didn't respond to my contact but did act, I cc'd the trustees for my email, but I pointed to the name/usage guidelines for how they could come in compliance (and to the wayback machine as an example).
