[cobalt-users] POP3 and FTP down (Hackers?)



Hello,
I just got off the phone with Cobalt Tech Support, what a waste of time!
They told me that some hackers must have gotten into my cobalt system, and
they are shutting down and restarting systems, or some kind of story like
that.  I noticed this morning that my POP3 and FTP wasn't working, but my
IMAP is still functioning.  They also said that the only thing I could do
was to reinstall the cobalt software using the restore cd and start again,
is this true?
The supposedly had an update posted just last week about some BIND problem
and that's how the hackers are able to get through, I don't know if this is
true or not.  Can anyone help me to try to get these services back up and
running without having to restore the Raq? By the way, I'm running on a Raq
3.
If anyone has any information, please let me know.
I noticed that over the passed couple of days, quite a bit of users on this
board have gotten similar problems with the POP3 suddenly stop working.

HELP! :-(
