********************* Please forward to all Project Lists ********************************** The National USGenWeb Project site and all sites hosted on theusgenweb.org domain, as well as a few other Project sites have been hit again by a hacker that has included some malware code at the end of the majority of the pages on each site. We are working with the hosting service right now to get the sites cleaned and the code removed. Please ask ALL Project Coordinators that have their sites hosted on theusgenweb.org or anyone that specifically gets notices that they're sites are infected to not connect by ftp to the sites until at least the 16th as we work to try to ensure that we have the sites cleaned once again. For folks that have only visited the USGenWeb National site or any of the other affected sites using their browser, the risk is very minor that your computer has been infected. If you've connected by ftp and downloaded files from any of the infected sites, I'd suggest running a full virus scan on your computer and I'd also recommend running at least a couple of spyware scans to add an additional level of confidence that your system is clean. All sites that are hosted on theusgenweb.org server will have the passwords changed before you can log in again. I'll be starting on this immediately so that the downtime will be minimized as much as possible. If anyone has any specific questions or problems, please let me know.
