We'll bring the service back online as quickly as possible and will post updates to this thread as new information is available. -------------------- Sincerely, Andrew Kinney CTO, Advantagecom Networks Please do not private message me.

Particularly, they had a cgi script that was either being exploited, was badly programmed, or was being kid-clicked (rapid clicking over and over because the end user was impatient). They had multiple copies of this script in multiple directories, so we disabled them all. The web server was locked into some kind of tight loop that couldn't be killed, so we had to restart the server once the bad site's scripts were disabled. At this time, all appears to be running normally. -------------------- Sincerely, Andrew Kinney CTO, Advantagecom Networks Please do not private message me.
