Yesterday I was having some issues connecting to my home chat server and shell account across secure connections. I made the mistake of trying telnet (which I had forgotten I had open still for some insane reason). I got connected via telnet and then 30 minutes later someone put a phishing site up on my server. I am 2000 miles away from home so I can't even get to my system to reinstall it and make sure all is well. I had to move netwitch to a hosting service where I have minimal resources available. I seriously hate people....
In a month or so when I get back home I will pull it all apart and decide if I need a server at home anymore and if I don't will move my entire site to a more static hosting service and whatnot. BAH!!!!!!!!!! Oh and before i shutdown I did look around enough to see that the intrusion came from AOL so yay AOL!

Ah, perhaps that would explain why I'm suddenly getting errors trying to connect to my account. (I just got home from vacation tonight so this is the first I've noticed). I'm not really actively using it much anymore anyway, so it's not a big deal, just sorry to hear something like that happened. Glad to know you'll be back in Austin fairly soon though!
