In order to be safe, we are asking that everyone in TXGenWeb refrain from uploading any files for the next week or so until we give the "all safe" signal.  We have numerous CCs that are also CCs in some of the infected states, and we need to be sure that their computers have not been infected, which could transfer to our servers. So, to be safe please do NOT upload any files until further notice. Thanks!

I would think you probably shouldn't download any files either as they may be infected. > -----Original Message----- > From: txgen-bounces@rootsweb.com > [mailto:txgen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mike & Jane Keppler > Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 7:25 AM > To: txgen-l@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [TXGEN] HELP > > FYI>>>>> > > > --- On Sat, 9/12/09, Elaine Martin <mcstumped@suddenlink.net> wrote: > > > From: Elaine Martin <mcstumped@suddenlink.net> > Subject: [TXGW-NEWS] Important - Please read > To: "TXGenWeb News" <TXGW-NEWS-L@rootsweb.com> > Date: Saturday, September 12, 2009, 8:54 PM > > > We announced several days ago that a hacker had gained access > to the USGenWeb files, and numerous individual state/county > files.  The USGenWeb has been working hard to try and find > the virus and/or malware and clean the site.  There are still > messages coming in where there are still infected files in > several states and possibly the USGenWeb site. > > In order to be safe, we are asking that everyone in TXGenWeb > refrain from uploading any files for the next week or so > until we give the "all safe" signal.  We have numerous CCs > that are also CCs in some of the infected states, and we need > to be sure that their computers have not been infected, which > could transfer to our servers. > > So, to be safe please do NOT upload any files until further notice. > > Thanks! > Elaine > > -- > I am researching all branches of my family tree if for no > other reason than to prove it does fork! > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > TXGW-NEWS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > TXGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
