David,
   These are 'Script Kiddie hacks. A Script Kiddie is someone who 
knows nothing about hacking and cracking, they just know how to download 
software that is pre-written to do vandalism.  So we seem to be a random 
target. I would guess both attacks were from the same limited 
individual. Thinking of a second URL to hit would probably overtax the 
poor dear.

Have you been using PostNuke all this time? And if so, can you share what 
exploits with the PostNuke Security group so the rest of us can harden our 
PostNuke sites??

And moreover, what is it that is making u2ug.org more likely to be hacked - 
security patch issues? Random hackers? Or is someone 'out to get U2UG'?  I'm 
thinking 2 hakcs in a year is a lot for a site like ours!

It's not paranoia if it's true! g

Hey bro, ya gotta admit these kiddies were quick enough to execute the
exploit before you professionals could update the server against it.  Let
this be a lesson to all of us about keeping software current.  ;)
