Matrix.org has become a victim of a cyberattack which has forced the organization to overhaul its entire production infrastructure and inform users of a widespread credentials leak.

On Thursday, the developer of the open standard for real-time communication over IP -- including Instant Messaging, VoIP/WebRTC signaling, and Internet of Things (IoT) communication -- said in a blog post that an unknown attacker managed to gain access to the servers hosting Matrix.org.
"Source code & packages are unaffected," Matrix.org said on Twitter. "We do not think user data was targeted, but are playing it safe."

The group says that the security incident was caused due to vulnerabilities in the production infrastructure, namely, an outdated version of Jenkins, an open-source Java automation server.
