Hackers get to Linux "source code" also

In a move seemingly similar to the recent Microsoft hack but far more sinister for its pervasiveness and scope, several hackers have apparently also gained access to the source code for the popular "Linux" operating system. How exactly they did it is still unclear, but my bet is they may have "downloaded" it and "messed with" it (who knows they may even have inputed their own code into the mix and unsuspecting users may not be aware, all they know is that now USB or JFS or some other new really cool feature works!)
This hack has been going on for sometime and the owner of the operating system (patented!) LinusCo has a few words to say about it and the psychological "open source" warfare waged upon it. Checkit via the news link. Hackers get to Linux "source code" also: news link
