Re: [[cobalt-users] Server Hacked?]

[Drew Nichols <nicholsdrew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On this same note - someone grabbed our passwd file on the RaQ1 and has
started hacking sites one by one as they crack passwords... moving everything
to RaQ3i's ASAP!

Hi,

We just got a couple of angry emails from people claiming that one of our 
RaQ1s tried to hack into their server (portscan). We are assuming someone 
had found a backdoor into the one of the services.

I thought the Cobalt servers were fairly secure from this sort of thing. 
Anyone have any idea how to prevent this in the future and how they may 
have accessed the server in the first place. Also, are there any logs I 
should check to find what is going on?

Thanks!
