Monero's official website got hacked a month ago : https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/11/official-monero-website-is-hacked-to-deliver-currency-stealing-malware/
How can anyone trust Monero's Dev Team, when they can't even secure their own official website ?

Until an explanation has been provided on how hackers got access to Monero's official website in the first place, i would be very wary using Monero (especially their downloadable binaries).
Also Monero is just not used all that much with regards to transactions, which means it is failing its primary use case : https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-bch-dash-ltc-zec-xmr.html

And last but not least, this is not a good way to boost confidence with investors : https://www.coindesk.com/moneros-fluffypony-steps-down-as-lead-maintainer-of-privacy-coin-project

Dude... So weak...

Explanation about the hack: https://web.getmonero.org/2019/11/19/warning-compromised-binaries.html It was hacked for like 13 minutes, before it got noticed, pretty impressive imho...

That just describes the the hack itself, it does not describe how hackers got access to Monero's official website / Monero's closed off box.
Which is far more important to know. How did hackers compromised Monero's official website and download servers ? How did they get to Monero's closed-off box ?

One whole month has passed, surely its known by now how the breach occurred ? How long does it take to investigate a closed-off box ?
