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
