I just wonder if this is the first of many GH FOSS attacks or just random hack.
Maybe related, it would depend on how long they were in:

All-Radio 4.27 Portable Can't Be Removed Then Your PC is Severely Infected
https://nu.federati.net/url/147154
>Starting yesterday, there have been numerous reports of people being infected with something called "All-Radio 4.27 Portable". After researching this heavily today, it has been determined that seeing this program is a symptom of a much bigger problem on your computer.
TL:DR While All-Radio 4.27 Portable appears to be a legitimate Russian online video and radio program, the malware authors have copied it and created an imposter to act as a front for other malware that is installed. -

GitHub Gentoo Organization Hacked Slashdot
https://it.slashdot.org/story/18/06/28/2240254/github-gentoo-organization-hacked
>Longtime Slashdot reader Chutzpah shares a report from Gentoo Linux, a Linux distribution built using the Portage package management system:
>June 28 at approximately 20:20 UTC unknown individuals have gained control of the Github Gentoo organization, and modified the content of repositories as well as pages there. We are still working to determine the exact extent and to regain control of the organization and its repositories. All Gentoo code hosted on GitHub should for the moment be considered compromised.
>
>This does NOT affect any code hosted on the Gentoo infrastructure. Since the master Gentoo ebuild repository is hosted on our own infrastructure and since Github is only a mirror for it, you are fine as long as you are using rsync or webrsync from gentoo.org.
>Details are sparse, but we will update this story once we learn more.
