It is estimated that approximately one million users may have their details compromised. Information exposed includes usernames, email addresses, and country information, as well as hashed passwords.
According to Michael Lee at ZDnet:
After exploiting a vulnerability in the third-party application, Drupal's attackers uploaded files to the association.drupal.org server, which Drupal detected during a routine security audit. The server was subsequently shut down and a resulting investigation found that users' account information had been accessed.
Drupal Director Holly Ross sought to pacify any fears of a serious security breach on her Twitter account.
