[Systems] freedom and justice are going to have maintenance downtime tomorrow ...

[Stefan Unterhauser]

Hi all,

just got a mail from Necsys (Medialab),
that both of our remote server management services (IPMI
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Platform_Management_Interface>)
got compromised
and are doing DDOS stuff ...

http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/06/at-least-32000-servers-broadcast-admin-passwords-in-the-clear-advisory-warns/

that is why tomorrow I will flash them with the newest ipmi-version
(last update I did when we installed the machines a year ago or more)

which means I have to take machines offline for some time
-> hope I can do that in less then an hour per machine

xo
dogi

PS: my phonenumber is 617 767 2668
