Here is the entire email about it.

Subject: [TSA] ** IRC Server Compromised, Lapinia offline Until Further
Notice **

 

Just got word from Kristy as I was heading off to bed.  Lapinia was
rootkitted (hacked via a software bug/virus) on the 8th, she noticed just
now when several key linux commands were disabled.  A rootkit scanner found
3 different rootkits.  Server is considered compromised and unusable, she is
taking it offline until further notice and will rebuild it when time
permits.  Normally this would be "soon" but there is apparently a move
involved.

 

We have moved to a temporary backup channel here for status updates (and, of
course, I'll post to the list as I hear things):

Server:  irc.anthrochat.net

Channel: #lapinia

 

There is a Java IRC client here:  http://kita.ath.cx/tfnet/irc/BACKUP.html

 

(Idle Thought:  Why don't we have a Java IRC client for TFNet proper?)
