Hey everybody!

Our technical contact called me this morning and told me that we were
hacked.  Our news server was sending out some Hindu newspaper.  Apparently,
some Indian nationals hijacked our news port.

Does anyone know of any news port susceptibilities?  We're BSD Unix,
methinks I'll keep our versions and such private for now.

We have shut down the news port/server and will keep it that way until we
can fix this.  If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd really appreciate
it.

BTW, we ran that free script, "Shields Up" GRC.COM, not more than a month
ago.  It gave us flying colors; it said we were "very secure".  With all due
respect to the author, "ya get what ya pay for".

And I realize I'm opening a potential flame here, but ... what are the
opinions of having the FBI in (if they'll come) to investigate this?
Updsides/downsides?

TIA,
Yvette
