   Hello,

   ibiblio experienced a web outage this evening: one of our virtual hosts 
was exploited, and the processes it spawned caused our LVS directors to 
run out of memory.

   This was caused by an out-of-date Joomla installation, and I'm sending 
out this reminder to please keep your CMSs current - if a site is 
exploited, we have no choice but to disable it to save our services.

   This particular exploit targets mos_Config_password.  If you are running 
Joomla, you should change your administrative password as soon as 
possible.

   If you have questions or trouble, please do contact our help team via 
http://www.ibiblio.org/help/

   thank you,					919.962.5646 w
