oldbloke at 03:01pm on 09/01/2006OK, so the server I use to distribute some av updates got hacked on the 23rd or 24th. It got taken offline - everybody had fallback for updates. People have decided it's safest all round to wipe it and rebuild. OK, a bit of work re-instating the McAfee repository and Sophos EM Library.
But suddenly people pop up saying "What about the student proficiency test questionnaire?". Wish they'd told me that was running on the wholly experimental SPSS Data Entry Server installed on the damn thing.
So we'll have to rebuild that as well. Despite the fact that general opinion is it's not very good and it'll be dropped. And the MySQL server within it is how the hackers got in.
And Alex is muttering that we might need to put MS Project Server back on as well. Not if I can stop it! Ann took abotu a week to sort the install out in the first place, and as far as I could tell it was crap.
