So it seems that somebody managed to log into our Web server and do a few dirty deeds that left us offline for several hours.

The technical details are brief and boring to most of you. They installed a second version of the Apache Web server, thus putting everything offline. The host's security people are on it and I hope they'll find the offender and do what's necessary.

So ends a day I'd rather forget.

Hope you are OK over there Gene.

Just saying but a certain repeating troll would be worth investigating and I am sure there are one or two cases where he failed to protect his own IP.

maybe since we know he can proxy farm so doing this:

log into our Web server
Click to expand...

Means he can hack as well to a degree ... or run a script...

For his sake I hope he is good at covering his tracks and not just a script kiddy because that black hat shit will get you jail time.
 
note lennyfrommaine and purrlgurrrl have not posted since the outage I think it was chicago troll and I think it has everythng to do with the mike bara show.
 
I noticed Paracast was offline last night and the thought occurred it might be cyber vandalism.

Whoever did this might want to pull up the 0ld Yellow Pages and look under "L" for lawyer.
