RedBrick Network Downtime
by Andrew Harford 27 Apr '08

27 Apr '08

Hi, By now most of you will be aware that we have been forced to take the entire Redbrick network offline on Friday following a compromise in security. There has been no loss of user data, email, websites, pr0n etc. - it is all safely backed up. However, we are sure that the root access was gained on both murphy and minerva as well ldap, so we are re-installing all systems cleanly before they are going back online. At present, the only service active is email - email which is autoforwarded will be operating as normal, other email will be waiting when you login again. Mailing lists are operational also, but the web interface is offline. I am hopeful that we will be able to offer basic login services and chat by Tuesday evening, but we can't make any guarantees - we are working as fast as possible to get services back online safely. Progress with murphy has been very slow, and website and database access will take longer to get up again. As ldap has been accessed by the intruders, all users will be issued a new password in the near future. Please keep this password safe, you will need it to log back in. I would like to stress again that all your data and mail is safe and waiting for you. If you need urgent file access or mail forwarding drop me a reply and I'll do whatever I can. We'll be in touch shortly when we have more online. We will also be keeping the website error page on www.redbrick.dcu.ie updated with current info. Thanks to everyone who sent us advice, encouragement, and steak. It is much appreciated. All the best, andrew. -- Andrew Harford CA3 Class Rep System Administrator, DCU Networking Society Ordinary Member, Societies & Publications Committee
