A recent attack? Or the one that took them down months ago? The
"official" word of the last attack was that it was a sniffed (root?)
password and/or some ssh+kerberos issue.
Of course, it's easy to use qmail to run commands if you have ftp access
and write permissions to the .qmail* files. Of course, this isn't
considered a bug.
