Hacker Attach Aftermath
Posted in OAImages News by John E. Pannell on February 23rd, 2008 at 11:08 pm As many now know this site and blog was offline most of last week. We were the victim of a hacker.
This was discovered and confirmed last Sunday night when I was having trouble with the mySQL engine that powers this blog. We needed to restart the server. It was at this point that it was confirmed that someone else was using this server without my knowledge. The hacker had been using the server’s resources for some time, running a password cracker. This explains some of the problems that had been experienced recently with accessing the site.
Most of the site is back to normal now, but a few issues elude me. Perhaps some of the techie folks reading this might be able to help.
"Numbers written on restaurant bills within the confines of restaurants do not follow the same mathematical laws as numbers written on any other pieces of paper in any other parts of the Universe.
This single statement took the scientific world by storm. It completely revolutionized it. So many mathematical conferences got held in such good restaurants that many of the finest minds of a generation died of obesity and heart failure and the science of math was put back by years."
