David [SiT] reports a WCC Blackboard Server Outage

That would be the yummy smell of toast arising from our Blackboard server The new worm completely killed it (and perhaps, my attempts at fixing it). We have a backup, but it will take some time to get going.

This is going to be a nasty one I know for a fact that tons of BB systems are unsecured in the same way ours was.

It's the "SQLsnake" Microsoft Worm that's causing David grief.
