This episode is sponsored by New Relic. New Relic gives you performance monitoring, tracking, and reporting of your web applications.

RubyGems.org Hacked Jump to Story

RubyGems.org was hacked Wednesday morning. An exploit in the Psych YAML gem was used to post the site's config files publicly. Additionally, it was possible that some gem source code was compromised.
