barbarians at our (server) gates
Yesterday evening we found that we were not alone: someone in Russia hacked into our server and used it to send pornographic spam. Terrence tracked the intruders to servers on the east coast and then to a few machines in Russia, but we don't know much beyond that. Terrence made some security upgrades and seems to have shut out the intruders, but if anyone should come to our site looking for more of the advertised content they're going to be disappointed.
