Hello folks,

Ewan Mac Mahon (York LUG) found an installed backdoor (with Apache ID)
on lug.org.uk just an hour ago. 4 minutes after he sent his message I
logged into the server and watched someone trying do execute "rm -rf
/home" with Apache ID.

The backdoor process is called "th1s iz mY 3l1t3 baCkd00r"...

I don't know what's going to happen now, but I expect the server to be
offline soon.

The administrators have been informed.

Marc
