Interesting - we have the latest patches on our RaQ4s but some recent activity is 
making me wonder if it has been compromised as our RaQ550 is reporting portscans 
coming from one of our RaQ4s - only started today and I can't believe a customer would 
be doing it and none of them have shell access.

Maybe the safest thing for Cobalt users would be to turn their units of for the 
duration.  Bit drastic I admit but bearing in mind we have little control of security 
patching maybe best in the light of previous hacks.
