Internet Issue
 

I wanted to give a heads up (thank you to Amiyesiam who got me looking at this) to all users. There is a potential internet hack/trojan that may impact you this summer. You can read about it here: http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011...malware_110911

More importantly, you should take a few minutes (probably about 10) to read this paper: http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011...er-malware.pdf This Adobe Acrobat paper talks about how this particular trojan/malware works and how to manually detect it.

If you do not do this, you could lose internet access this summer when the FBI shuts down specific servers that the malware depends on.

If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask.

back up ur sysytems ~~~ its going to be a bumpy ride :)

Will verify our work servers and externals on Monday :) Thanks!

Thank you so much for posting this! I just checked my home machine and I am clear. I will call our network person at work and check there tomorrow. I really appreciate the expert advice and easy links!

Before I read through all that, does this affect Macs? Thanks.

Nevermind, I figured it out and I'm not infected.

If you click on the link that OS Butch provided, it'll easily check. Although Macs cannot be infected by the malware, they can still feel the repercussions of it and so checking is still worthwhile.

Trouble connecting
 

I am experiencing trouble connecting and staying connected. I am no having this issue with any other sites.

Hrmm.. We'll be investigating this but given that it's sporatic, it's going to be hard for us to nail it down. So all I ask is a bit of patience until we figure out what's causing it.

Somethings going on for sure..........

Google Chrome has crashed on me 3 times in the last 5-10 minutes. It did not start doing that until I logged on the Planet

Thanks Linus!
