[Info-vax] MYSQL error WWW.OPENVMS.ORG

[David Turner]

There is something very strange
i think when our server got hit with a DOS attack they were going after 
openVMS.org NOT Islandco.com
Drupal has a lot of security issues and I think somehow the database was 
destroyed.
We did a sql backup and the file had 0 bytes  - NOT good.
I am so so so sick of maliciousness on the net. if the same brains out 
there decided to do something positive, perhaps the net would be a 
better place.

I am so so so done with trying to stop people from attacking a server 
that has not important data....
