An excerpt from the largely eneventful briefing session on #freenode-moderated tonight about said incident (brackets are mine, intended for illumination):

HedgeMage: We believe that 25 nickserv passwords were compromised during a limited window, but all concerned individuals are encouraged to change their nickserv passwords just in case.
HedgeMage: thanks, Astinus
HedgeMage: We'll open up the floor for questions, one at a time, in a moment. Please keep your question concise, and type it ahead of time so we can move as quickly as is practical.

          [several questions, answers, and no-comments]

HedgeMage: Since most of these seem to be repeats, we're going to close for now. I'd like to reiterate that we encourage all concerned users to change passwords

          [...]

Astinus: This room will go -m shortly, so ya'll can chat before we have another session.
HedgeMage: try not to get blood on the carpet
Astinus: Or we'll send in the cleaners, with pointy brooms

DosBubba: 'Grats out to the GNAA for their newly acquired property, irc.vaccus.com #chat . /server -m irc.vaccus.com -j #chat Attacks will continue if you don't join.
DosBubba: I would like to thank Freenode for taking the time to gather the whole of IRC, it has been our pleasure to take part in such a trolling opportunity.
DosBubba: Remember: /server -m irc.vaccus.com -j #chat Attacks will continue if you don't join. !startkeygen
DosBubba: IRC was founded on the principles of trolling, and we thank Freenode from the bottom of our hearts for carrying the fine tradition into the 21st century - hopefully beyond.
