***************** Please forward to all Project Lists ******************* With many thanks to Joy Fisher, Jeff Kemp & the techies at IX, we've managed to get rid of all of the hacker's files from the USGenWeb National Project site and the sites hosted at theusgenweb.org. Google has been notified and asked to revisit the sites, so you should not be receiving any warnings any more when you visit the sites. Thanks for everyone's patience while we've worked to ensure that the sites are no longer infected. Sherri Bradley National Coordinator USGenWeb Project http://usgenweb.org

An update for you on the status of the hacker's attacks - We are continuing to work through each and every file on the USGenWeb National site and other sites that have been hit by the hacker over the last couple of days (there were five states that the attacks seemed to be concentrated on). We believe we've found and removed all of the files that he/she had infected with a snippet of code that are the basis of many of the anti-virus program warnings you're seeing. Nevertheless, we're continuing to go through each and every file to ensure that we've removed every trace. These attacks have been on files on the server itself. Unless you've actually downloaded an infected file in the past couple of days, it's very unlikely that your computer's security has been affected. Even then, the hacker just put a link into a frame that took the viewer to a site that was known to be a hacker's heaven. All of the changes were done only on the server. If you've been uploading files from your PC to the server, it's very, very unlikely that you've got a security problem - at least from only connecting to the server. The reports that we've received today from folks about warnings from their anti-virus software seem to be from those who have cached versions of the infected pages that they're actually viewing. If you refresh the page, the virus warning is usually disappearing. It will take a bit of time for the anti-virus software to catch up - especially if the cached pages haven't been deleted and are being viewed again. As I said, we're continuing to make our way through (often for the third or fourth or tenth time) to ensure that we've removed every trace of the hacker's attack. Once we're confident our sites are no longer infected, we'll contact Google and have them revisit the site so their warning can be lifted. We don't want to do that until we're sure things have been squared away, though, because the more times they visit and find an infected site, the higher the number of visits when infected and the worse the rating we'll end up with in the long run. Thanks, Sherri Bradley National Coordinator USGenWeb Project http://usgenweb.org

The National Coordinator (NC) will also work with the webmaster and assistant to ensure that their responsibility for day to day operational management of the project site is fulfilled. Section 2: Selection of the Webmaster - The USGenWeb Advisory Board (AB) will issue a call the last two weeks of September for interested individuals to serve as the webmaster and assistant webmaster of the National site. >From this call, the newly seated AB will make their selections at the beginning of the term, at the same time the remainder of the appointments are made. The AB shall determine if those currently in place shall continue, or if one or more of the new respondees shall be selected. The qualifications for both positions are: (a) The individual must have been a member in good standing of the USGenWeb Project for a minimum of 6 months.

These time limits do not apply if the webmaster and/or assistant have notified the board they will be unavailable for a period of time or if there are extenuating circumstances such as a natural disaster in the area where the webmaster and/or assistant reside. The second limit does not apply if the scope of the change is large and if the webmaster or assistant have notified the board that it will take longer. If the webmaster or assistant have notified the board it will take longer than the stated week, they must provide an expected completion date for the change. (e) Additional knowledge and/or skills such as php, databases and search engine optimization may be desirable but are not required.

(f) Receiving reports on website problems from site visitors, pro-actively detecting problems that arise whenever practical and reporting the problems to the web host provider, either directly or through the designated process in place at the time, and work with their support organization to correct the problems. (g) Providing quarterly reports to the AB regarding the site and actions taken and changes made by the webmaster and/or assistant. (h) Notify the assistant/assistant webmaster, AB representative and NC if they will be unavailable for periods of more than 48 hours so that others can cover the duties and complete any necessary updates. Section 4: Responsibility of the NC or Designated Individual with Control Panel Access: (a) Provide the codes/passwords to the webmaster, assistant webmaster and the AB representative so the stated responsibilities can be carried out. (b) If the webmaster and assistant don't have direct access to site error logs, do whatever is required to make them available to the webmaster and assistant so that their duties can be carried out. (c) If the webmaster and assistant don't have direct access to the support organization of the webhosting service, serve as the interface to report problems to the web hosting service and in working with their support organization to correct them. Section 5: General Requirements: (a) The financial information of the account holder must be protected at all times. (b) The website must be designed such that it is portable between web hosting services in the event that a move is necessary or desirable. (c) The ability to hand code a site in HTML format is not necessary. Pages may be created using website designing software, but the software must not be specific to the web host, causing the transfer of the site to be impossible, nor should the software insert scripts that are not portable between web design applications. (d) The webmaster and/or assistant webmaster may be replaced for failure to comply with Sections 2 and 3, above. (e) The webmaster and assistant webmaster will only be granted ftp access to those portions of the National site for which the Advisory Board have assigned them responsibility.
