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This was caused by an out-of-date Joomla installation, and I'm sending out this reminder to please keep your CMSs current - if a site is exploited, we have no choice but to disable it to save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