We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the downtime.

]]> Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:11:00 +0100 Urgent maintenance work on TextGrid server http://www.textgrid.de/nc/en/startseite/aktuelles/aktuelles-detail/article/urgent-maintenance-work-on-textgrid-server.html An attack by spam mail senders on a TextGrid server on Nov 11, 2011 has made neccessary the... An attack by spam mail senders on a TextGrid server on Nov 11, 2011 has made neccessary the resetting and configuration of several systems. We will proceed with highest diligence in order to eliminate the possibility of potential attacks. Hence, the related servers will not be available again before mid of next week. As a result, the TextGridLab will only be fully accessible and usable on friday, Nov. 18, 2011. The related server does not host any data by or about TextGrid users; hence, we have no evidence that either data saved in TextGrid or TextGrid user adresses are concerned. The spam mails were sent to adresses that are in no way related to TextGrid or its users. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the downtime. An improved safety plan implemented in the context of reinstallation will reduce the risk of a downtime due to external attacks significantly. All data and projects established with or in TextGridLab will be preserved to the full extent.

Background:

The server "textgridlab.org", which hosts various TextGrid services, has been abused for spam e-mailing on Nov 08th, 2011 from 12:50 onwards. After the attack had been identified through an abuse message, the server was investigated and shut down. As to present information, no intrusion to the server other than spam e-mailing has occured. The way in which access to the mailer was gained is still unknown. Hence, we cannot exclude that the intruder implemented hidden malicious code (e.g., a trojan), which would enable later access to the system. As to continuously guarantee a safe operability, both the server concerned and linked systems need to be fully deleted and re-installed, causing a downtime until Friday, Nov 18, 2011. Subsequently, all TextGrid services as well as projects, data, documents and files will be fully accessible again in their most recent version.
