update:

Jan 25, 2005
Thirdgen.Org went down hard today. The primary hard disk that contained the OS and the website died a nasty death. Right now this is running on a temporary machine as I figure out how I will proceed. As of now, email to thirdgen.org is NOT working. It will be up and running tomorrow. I will be trying to restore data tomorrow to see what is lost and what isn't.

Keep checking back to see progress messages. This server will be up and down tomorrow as I test/recover/re-install/whatever TGO.

If you need to get in touch with me in the meantime you can email me at dtimmerm@pharmacy.arizona.edu

Thanks

I wonder if there is some new forum virus spreading???

Like a few weeks back when PHPBB sites went down and owners of sites using PHPBB [like me] spent days patching, updating and editing PHP to block the hacks. I was pulling hair out for a while. As mt hosting provider also took defense and makes us run php.ini scripts now. Which made my work even harder. N I know crap about PHP.

IT: Worm Hits Windows Machines Running MySQL


Posted by michael on Thursday January 27, @11:27AM
from the batten-the-ports-prepare-for-heavy-weather dept.
UnderAttack writes "A report on the Australian whirlpool forum suggest that a worm is currently taking out MySQL servers running on Windows. We have seen this happen with MSSQL before (not just 'Slammer', but also SQLSnake that used SA accounts without password). The SANS Internet Storm Center suggests that a rise in port 3306 scans can be attributed to the new worm, and is asking for observations to help figure this out. It appears the worm creates a file called 'spoolcll.exe'."

The Boards Should Be Up Tonight!
If all goes well today, the message boards will be up and running tonight. I'm almost done piecing together a set up to replace the old server. After thirdgen.org is up and running again I will begin the ordering process for the new server.
