ONF Wiki Attack - Notice to Community
Michelle Roth
Dear ONF Community,
As of yesterday (Nov 6th), it appears that ONF’s main wiki sites have been subject to a ransomware attack. The attacker has encrypted the sites, and as a result the following sites have now been taken offline:
The good news is that wikis are not primary collaboration platforms for ONF projects nor is project documentation generally served by the wikis (documentation is typically found at docs.<project>.org).
The bad news is that we are not expecting to be able to restore the wikis as we only have older backups. Any restored data will have lost the last year of updates, so we don’t think this would be of much value to the community. And since we don’t believe the wiki sites have been particularly active, we are not planning to restore these dated copies of the sites.
We want to hear from you if there is wiki data or archives that you believe to be of high importance. We’re not sure that we would be able to restore items you might identify, but we’d like to identify where we have been impacted, and we may be able to help point you to alternatives or more recent sites that provide equivalent information.
Please report important lost wiki content to either:
Also - a possible vulnerability from this attack would be password mining. If you tried to login to our wiki site anytime since last Friday, Nov 3, it is conceivable that you were presented with a password capture site that collected your ONF account password.
We strongly recommend that you update the password for your ONF account.

Sincerely,
The ONF Team

Majority of the content dates to several years back during the height of the ONOS (and its apps) development and even though the loss of last year of updates is unfortunate, there is still a lot to gain from reinstating the old content.ThomasOn 11/8/23, 5:36 AM, "onos-a...@opennetworking.org" <onos-a...@opennetworking.org> wrote:
Hi Michelle, AllI do am really sorry the wiki got attacked and that it resulted in loosing data. It's never a nice thing to happen.I strongly object to not resurrecting the wikis, even with 1 year old content. Especially the ONOS project has all of its data and content on the wiki, not on a docs site. The wiki.onosproject.org was still the one stop shop for the large community of ONOS developers.I would encourage you to recover the wiki pages from whatever backup you have and make a pledge to the community to re-integrate all the content that they feel has been lost.If there is anything I can assist you in to achieve this result please let me know, but not recovering at least the wiki.onosproject.org is un-acceptable, it will mean the total end of any work done on ONOS, which is still widely used.Thanks,Andrea Campanella -- Intel
