The developers of the Jenkins server, one of the most widely used open-source automation systems, said they suffered a security breach after hackers gained access to one of their internal servers and deployed a cryptocurrency miner.
Despite the intrusion and malware deployment, the Jenkins team downplayed the severity of the breach in a statement published on Saturday.
Jenkins admins said the hacked server, which hosted the now-defunct Jenkins wiki portal (wiki.jenkins.io), had already been deprecated since October 2019 when the project moved its wiki and team collaboration systems from a self-hosted Atlassian Confluence server to the GitHub platform.
