Re: [cobalt-users] Raq Hacked

[Solo <mailer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

many raq3's have been hacked.  there are "hackers" (read:immature punks)
reading these messages. I know from personal experience.

The best thing you can do is just make sure you have every patch cobalt
has for you and maybe look into hiring a hot shot linux geek to tighten
up your security.

dumb little script kiddies that do this crap will always exists.
You just posted/did something at the wrong place/time.
