Hi folks,

Thought I'd let you know that the Chicago file server has been hacked today. I believe the hacker was attempting to use the server as part of his Denial of Service attacks on a univeristy, and this was not a pointed attack against the site or community in general.

How the person gained access is unknown and under investigation. The server is simply used as a file mirror for all the files at TESNexus. As far as I know all the files have been lost, but the server is only a mirror, so the files can be retrieved from one of the two other mirrors available for the files. The result is that you may need to wait for a couple of minutes for the chicago server to retrieve the file from a mirror before you download from the server. If you receive much better transfer times on the Chicago server than on the Texas server then please just be patient.

Your personal security should not have been affected by all this.

ARG! Burn the witch, burn the witch!

Thnaks god it was only one mirror.

Damn, that's crazy.

Must have gotten a bad mark for an assignment.

Any idea how long until the Chicago server is back up and running? The Texas doesn't work at all for me (never has done), it just gets stuck in an endless loop of "You need to login", even if I am logged in or I login with that box.

who ever hacked the server is a A+ slime, i hope someone hacks his ass!

Think in ten years form now the poton system defense sould be usable and no one can hack into anything. Sometimes the government makes somthing useful.

What is this 'poton' you speak of?

This is probably why none of the Chicago downloads worked for a while -_-
