Message-ID: I'm pretty sure the plan is for Melbourne for the next two years. It rotates between bidding cities on a two-year timeframe. I'm not sure if it's definite but I understand Melbourne does have a bid in for 2016. Which, if it comes together, will be awesome.

URL: From president at linux.org.au Sat Apr 4 16:42:38 2015 From: president at linux.org.au (Joshua Hesketh) Date: Sat, 04 Apr 2015 16:42:38 +1100 Subject: [Linux-aus] Linux Australia server breach Message-ID: <551F79CE.8030601@linux.org.au> Dear Linux Australia Members and Conference Attendees, In accordance with our values of transparency and openness, we wish to inform you of a security breach of Linux Australia's servers. This incident has resulted in the possible, but not confirmed, release of personal information. This communication provides full disclosure of the nature of the breach, the actions undertaken by Linux Australia to remediate it, and the actions we now request you undertake to secure your personal data. In line with guidelines provided by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, specific information regarding the data breach, and the data which may have been disclosed, is outlined below. What was the nature of the breach and how did the breach occur? --------------------------------------------------------------- Between 0600 and 1100hrs (AEDT) on the 22nd of March, a large number of error reporting emails were sent by the Conference Management (Zookeepr) hosting server. This server hosted the conference systems for linux.conf.au 2013, 2014 and 2015, and for PyCon Australia 2013 and 2014. The error emails were generated by the automatic deployment of code merges to the various Zookeepr instances, and it is not uncommon for large numbers of these to be generated as generalised network routing or other issues occur. Upon investigation of the source of these error emails on the 24th of March, it was discovered that between 0400 and 0600hrs (AEDT) on the 22nd of March, the server was subject to an attack by a malicious individual. It is the assessment of Linux Australia that the individual utilised a currently unknown vulnerability to trigger a remote buffer overflow and gain root level access to the server. A remote access tool was installed, and the server was rebooted to load this software into memory. A botnet command and control was subsequently installed and started. During the period the individual had access to the Zookeepr server, a number of Linux Australia's automated backup processes ran, which included the dumping of conference databases to disk. In response, Linux Australia have undertaken a number of steps to minimise the immediate damage. These are outlined below. Whilst there is no indication that personal information was removed from the server, the logical course of action is that we operate on a worst case situation, and proceed on the belief that this has occurred. What type of personal information was possibly disclosed? --------------------------------------------------------- The database dumps which occurred during the breach include information provided during conference registration - First and Last Names, physical and email addresses, and any phone contact details provided, as well as a hashed version of the user password. As Zookeepr uses a third party credit card payment gateway for credit card processing, the database dumps do not contain any credit card or banking details. The payment processing process on the Zookeepr system was specifically designed to send minimal information to the payment gateway, and as a result only receive back a payment success or failure code. All other payment details are handled by the payment provider's systems. Therefore, credit card information was not disclosed. How was the breach identified, investigated and validated? ---------------------------------------------------------- Linux Australia's experienced and respected Admin Team implements a separated three-person response protocol for all incidents. In this methodology, after the initial notification, one member of the Admin Team is removed from the assessment, and is not briefed on what the other two find in their collaborative assessment. Once this is complete, the third person then investigates the reported incident and develops their own assessment, without bias or prejudice. The results are then discussed and any anomalies are scrutinised and assessed by all three members, and, if needed, undergo further investigation until all members of the team have confirmed the discoveries and results. What are the implications of the security breach and what should I do? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Whilst Linux Australia do not believe this was a targeted attack against the Zookeepr conference management system, nor an attempt to harvest details from the system, we are taking the necessary precautions to review, remediate and minimise the risk of exposure to attacks similar to this. How did Linux Australia respond to the breach? ---------------------------------------------- - The Admin Team immediately suspended all non-admin system accounts on the Zookeepr server to quarantine all information relating to the attack. - The remote access software and botnet software were isolated and the init scripts removed from the system for later assessment. - The 'rkhunter' software was installed for the first time, and multiple test scans were run. - The system underwent a number of reboots to ensure the software installed by the attacker was removed. - The modification time of shell history files were checked, and then the file contents were inspected to ascertain the activities of the attacker [0]. - Logs were checked in an effort to ascertain the method the attacker used to gain access. - All other Linux Australia servers hosted on the hardware were assessed and where required, their security measures were increased. What steps were taken to prevent the threat of a similar breach in the future? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - The compromised host is being decommissioned. - A new host was built, and the PyCon Australia 2015 production instance was re- deployed onto the new Zookeepr host. - This new host is enforcing key-based logins only, and a number of other security measures have been applied to attempt to limit the attack surface. - The new host will have tighter restrictions for services facing the internet - The new host will have a far more rigorous operating system updating schedule applied to it. - Logs are duplicated to a central log server where a log analysis tool has been installed, this will alert the Admin Team to suspicious activity when detected. - System user accounts on the new server will be expired 3 months after the conference ends (with special arrangements for PyCon Australia's 24-month cycle). - linux.conf.au and PyCon Australia sites will be converted to HTML copies 6 months after the conclusion of the conference. The conference's Zookeepr database will then be archived and stored on a separate server, and the database deleted from the ZooKeepr server. I'm a previous linux.conf.au/PyCon Australia attendee. What should I do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For your security, we strongly encourage you change your passwords on other web services if the same password may have used when registering for our conferences. This would also include your Mozilla Persona accounts if you have chosen to use this method for authentication[1]. In the interests of improving your online security, it is recommended that a one time password service be used in the future for any accounts you may create on any web services including Linux Australia's conference websites. Has assistance been offered to Linux Australia? ----------------------------------------------- No assistance has been offered, however Linux Australia is interested in working with relevant Australian based Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERT) or accredited computer security experts to determine the method the attacker utilised to gain access to the system. Who should I contact for more information? ------------------------------------------ Thank you for your patience, understanding and support. If you have any questions, concerns please do not hesitate to contact the Linux Australia Council at council at linux.org.au or if you would like speak in camera please contact the Secretary at secretary at linux.org.au [2]. Signed, The Linux Australia Council [0] Shell history files do not appear to have been modified or removed by the attacker, as a result of which the Admin Team were (to a large extent) able to interpret the activities undertaken on the machine during the incident. [1] Whilst Mozilla Persona provides a central authentication token that verifies the user identity in a way that does not expose the password to the system being authenticated to, it was necessary for users of Mozilla Persona to set a password on the Zookeepr system to be able to edit the conference wiki.

Message-ID: Hi Noon, If you are asking about PyCon being in Melbourne because you find it financially hard to get to Brisbane I would suggesting looking at the financial assistance program that PyCon AU runs. It won't be able to cover everything but it can help make things a lot more affordable. As Tennesee said, PyCon AU changes cities every two years. The conference has been to Sydney, Hobart and Brisbane so it is running out of Australian capital cities to attend, Melbourne is bound to come up soon :).

Chris leaves behind a daughter Alyssa, aged 6, who I hope will remember Chris as the clever and caring person that I will remember him as. I haven?t had a chance to confirm with the family if they want flowers or a donation to a charity. As soon as I know those details I will reply to this email. Chris worked on open source for a very long time, with OpenStack being just the most recent in a long chain of contributions. He worked tirelessly on his contributions to Nova, including mentoring other developers. He was dedicated to the cause, with a strong vision of what OpenStack could become. He even named his cat after the project. Chris might be the only person to have ever sent an email to his coworkers explaining what his code review strategy would be after brain surgery. It takes phenomenal strength to carry on in the face of that kind of adversity, but somehow he did. Frankly, I think I would have just sat on the beach. Chris was also a contributor to the Linux Standards Base (LSB), where he helped improve the consistency and interoperability between Linux distributions. He ran the ?Hackfest? programming contests for a number of years at Australia?s open source conference -- linux.conf.au. He supported local Linux user groups in South Australia and Canberra, including involvement at installfests and speaking at local meetups. He competed in a programming challenge called Loki Hack, and beat out the world to win the event[1]. Alyssa?s memories of her dad need to last her a long time, so we?ve decided to try and collect some fond memories of Chris to help her along the way. If you feel comfortable doing so, please contribute a memory or two at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1kX-ePqAO7Cuudppwqz1cqgBXAsJx27GkdM-eCZ0c1V8/viewform Chris was humble, helpful and honest.

Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate out of all the cancers, and the lowest funding out of all the cancers. There is a stigma attached that lung cancer is a smoker's disease, and that sufferers deserve their fate. They bring it on through lifestyle choice. Except that Chris has never smoked in his life, like a surprisingly large percentage of lung cancer sufferers. These people suffer for the incorrect beliefs of the masses, and those that are left behind are equally innocent. We shouldn't be doing this now. He shouldn't be gone. We need to do more to fix this. There will be charity envelopes available at the funeral, or you can choose your preferred research to fund, should you wish to do so. You have our thanks."
