Hi. Well, let's just say that although I don't perceive Mondays as bad, this one is. We've got the system back up, but we have discovered back doors that a hacker, who got into this machine last night, left open for himself. He destroyed parts of our operating system, but I was online and stopped him from doing extreme damage. However, for those of you who have accounts here, you won't be able to log in until we re-load the OS. Also, LDM users: fail over to your alternate sites. We will be down for at least a few days, making sure no one gets in through a backdoor. Finally, if you need DDPLUS/IDS, weather3.admin.niu.edu is open for business, for those who have access to weather.amdin.niu.edu. Take care, and sorry for the inconvenience. We'll be back.
