Compromised website
In July 2011, it was discovered that vsftpd version 2.3.4 downloadable from the master site had been compromised.[2][3] Users logging into a compromised vsftpd-2.3.4 server may issue a ":)" smileyface as the username and gain a command shell on port 6200.[3] This was not an issue of a security hole in vsftpd, instead, an unknown attacker had uploaded a different version of vsftpd which contained a backdoor. Since then, the site was moved to Google App Engine.
