Notice:

 From approximately 4:30pm until 4:50pm (at which point the attackers 
where shut out and login service suspended) on tuesday december 17th an 
attempt was made to "crack" the postnuke system that the plug website 
resides on. As a result of the attack our security countermesures may 
have disabled logins by some, most, or all users from the begining of 
the attack at 4:30 until 2:30am on the 18th when I verified that no 
intrusion had occured and reinstated login service. I appologize for any 
inconvenience users may have experience.

 From 12:00am - 4:00am December 19th the plug website will be considered 
under maintainence for software upgrades, you should expect intermittent 
service and brief outages during that period.

No additional details of the incident are available at this time.

Sincerely,
David Uhlman
