I've only just discovered it's happened after finding a flurry of mails in 
my mailbox (dudes, i don't work there anymore - try [email protected] 
in future, more eyeballs see those mails!) after getting to work.

apache seems shutdown, but I haven't logged into the server until I can get 
an all clear from the guys.  I don't know for sure what caused the breach, 
but I've got a very good idea.  Clearly though, the guys are on the 
motherf---er, and I'm sure there will be a status msg later on in the day.

And for me, it's back to work :)  God, I love Netapps.  Did I say "love"?  I 
meant "want to destroy" :>
