Hi @all,

I did a maintenance update on my machine and had to restart the vm with
our charlug server. When I checked if everything is up and running I saw
that charlug.org was hacked. I did some forensics and it looks like they
only defaced the web part and left everything else as is. I guess they
came in via a security hole inside Mambo. For the moment I deactivated
apache completely. If somebody wants to step in and bring Mambo back to
life that would be great. If not then I will try to bring it back the
earliest on the weekend.

Peter
