ILab folks,

Someone has a machine on the lab's network that is a vulnerability and needs to be patched. Everyone who connects in the lab or via VPN please take a look at the email below and make sure your machine(s) is(are) safe and updated.

Also, Majuro is no longer hidden behind the VPN, so the whole world can see it - including the firewall password (even though the firewall is not up). We need to fix this. Tobias, let's discuss offline the right strategy for getting things back to properly working order.

Again, please check all your machines and laptops!

Thanks,
	Matthew

Tobias and Matthew,

could you please get in touch with the user on ilab-92.cs.ucsb.edu and 
have them patch this vulnerability? Also, you may want to address the 
fact that your wiki:

http://majuro.cs.ucsb.edu/wiki/index.php/Systems_Info

is world readable and contains information that you may not want the 
world to have access to (such as passwords!).

Thanks,

Jeff
