Work on the Fedora infrastructure has returned to normal at this point.
Updates are once again available for Fedora 8 and Fedora 9, our current
releases, using the new package signing key we've implemented.  To read
more about the new package signing key, refer to:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/New_signing_key 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Enabling_new_signing_key 

In addition, Rawhide has returned to service, as well as our other
services such as Fedora Hosted.

As always, our team of system administrators makes incremental
improvements constantly.  Sometimes these improvements involve temporary
outages, and such outages may occur in the future as part of normal
operations.  At this time, however, we believe Fedora's recovery efforts
are complete.  To reiterate our previous statement, we have not found
any security vulnerabilities in any Fedora software as a result of our
efforts.

The security investigation into the intrusion is still in progress.
When that investigation is completed, the Fedora Project's intention is
to publish a more detailed report on the matter.

We will issue further updates as more information becomes available.
