Hello,
This update is to add some additional information we are now able to share
in regard to why translation updates are on hold.
The Security team and others at the Wikimedia Foundation are engaged in a
security event involving our translation services. No Wikimedia users or
their data are currently affected. We made the decision to temporarily
disable translation updates until suitable countermeasures can be applied
and at this point reinstatement of translation updates is to be determined.
At the resolution of this event the Security team will publish a summary
blog post (
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/blog/view/13/) including
additional details as appropriate.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to better
protect the community.
John Bennett
Director of Security, Wikimedia Foundation
