[BWNA] BWNA Site Might Need To Be Down Temporarily

[Rob Vaughn]

Last night one of the sites linked off of our Web site, bwna.org, was used for
what's known as a "Cross-Site Scripting" (XSS) attack.

There's a strong risk that if the attack was successful, my Web server, which
hosts bwna.org might get blacklisted by major sites like Google, Yahoo!, etc.
which has happened before and I cannot afford as I also host my business on
the same server.

If there's a danger of this, I might have to take the bwna.org site down.
If so, it will be temporary until I am able to fix the exploit / security hole
used and/or block the idiots attacking the site.

If the Web site is down, the mailing lists will *STILL* work - only the site
will be unavailable.  The email lists will not need to be turned off.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

Cheers, Rob V.
