Fourth one in two weeks. Last week, the qnez server went down then over the weekend and again in the middle of the week, the bc server went down. Now it's the qnez server's time again. Grr.

Okay, I've spent 4.5 hours already tracking down this latest hack attack. Seems someone on one of the domains installed an insecure version of phpbb, a forum software. But who? There are about 50 such forums. GAH!!!

Had to check or modify 35 files, about half of which had a line of buggy code. This was on MOST of the domains hosted on the server, nearly 20 of them. Sheesh. No writing done tonight.
