Re: [cobalt-users] stand up if youve been hacked.



Don't worry about it; we need to let others know the crap that has been going on. I just got an email today from Cobalt about a previous problem that I had with email forwarding. Their suggestion: remove all aliases and re-install. Fortunately I got the correct answer from our little group here.

I too believe I was hacked, but was lucky enough to slam the door as soon as it happened and install the updates and clean the cracker crud that was left over.

I wonder what Sun will do now that it's child is proving to be a troublesome one? I still think the web-based admin is the downfall of us all. It should be secured by SSL by default.

Ok, rant over.

i wonder what percentage of us have been hacked in the last week or so.

quite high, id say.. wouldnt it be nice if cobalt even tried to help us
recover?
(its not hard to post a solution on the list

has anyone on the list had any help from cobalt?
i do feel it is cobalts fault, it cant be hard for them to keep an eye on
bugtraq and post us *working* fixes/updates.

remind me not to buy a cobalt product again.


..sorry to bore you all with my anger! :-\
