Ämne: Re: [Wikitech-ambassadors] [Engineering] Translations on hold untilfurther notice

To be clear, only MediaWiki core and extensions are put on hold -- not any other users of translatewiki, including WMF-built applications?

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
