&gt; &gt; &gt; That would seem to be for fairly low values of &quot;secure.&quot;
&gt; &gt; I'll be interested in seeing what comes out of it.  Hopefully they'll find
&gt; &gt; out how it actually happened.  With so little information so far, it is
&gt; &gt; hard to say what was actually compromised.  At a large school like UGA,
&gt; &gt; you don't just have your IT department, each area or school basically has
&gt; &gt; their own IT department which connects to the UGA core network.
&gt; 
&gt; The server that was compromised was placed on the network by a department
&gt; without anyone knowing.  The box was not patched at all.  It was running
&gt; Linux.
