Steve, can you relay the following to the GMAT team? I don’t have the team list anymore. After some suspicious activity, we discovered the JIRA server at bugs.gmatcentral.org has been infected with a virus, and may need to be shut down while we work to transition it to a better location. We’ve taken care of the immediate effects and so will leave the server running for now, but we suggest that everyone makes sure they have everything they need from JIRA for their immediate work. If the issue returns, we’ll need to shut down the server, and it could be down for a couple of weeks, until we get it migrated over to the new location. In the meantime, we’ve locked down the site so no new users can register.

Apparently watchbog is a linux virus whose purpose is hijacking people's CPUs to mine cryptocurrency: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/201277/new-linux-virus-watchbog-what-could-be-the-cause [https://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/security/img/[email protected]?v=497726d850f9]<https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/201277/new-linux-virus-watchbog-what-could-be-the-cause> malware - New Linux virus "watchbog". What could be the cause? - Information Security Stack Exchange<https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/201277/new-linux-virus-watchbog-what-could-be-the-cause> This question had already been brought up here, but was poorly answered with generic answers, like reinstall everything and no actual solution and cause.. So here's my story: There is a new virus out there which creates a process called "WATCHBOG" which eats all CPU from the server. security.stackexchange.com ________________________________ From: Cooley, D S.
