[cobalt-users] I've been Haq'd

[Revd leonard payne <vicarage@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh well I guess sooner or later my server would be haqd

Symptoms 

index.html is renamed 'old' and everything else moved into and 'old'
directory.

a jpg is uploaded (FTP?) which says fs aka freestyler owned you

This guy appears to be widespead with his support Israel graffiti.

Whilst I was away from my desk, my customer who essentially owns the box
called the colo who installed cobalt security patches and now
I can't SSH - System doesnt respond.
Turn Telnet back on but all I get is

Cobalt Linux release 6.0 (Shinkansen-Decaf)
Kernel 2.2.16C32_III on an i586

and then it hangs.

Is it known whether this bozo interferes elsewhere in the system,
i.e. does he 'own' it or is it graffiti.

Should I reinit the whole system, install patches from the bottom and then
hope that the CMUimport works on my nightly backup?

Thoughts please friends??


Every Blessings
