[News] [Rival] Goverment IIS-based Site Cracked

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

NSW Government job website hacked

,----[ Quote ]
| Like you, I get masses of spam. I knew it wasn't from jobs.nsw.gov.au no 
| matter how much it pretended to be. I deleted it figuring it was “just 
| another” bit of junk mail, although I was surprised to find one purporting to 
| be from the NSW Government job board; that was definitely a new one on me!   
| 
| Had I thought about it deeper I might have considered this was no ordinary 
| spam. This time there was a direct relationship between how the spammers got 
| my e-mail address and the organisation they purported to represent.  
| 
| It turns out the Department of Commerce has taken this whole incident very 
| seriously indeed, and far more than common garden-variety spam would 
| necessitate.  
| 
| If you visit the site jobs.nsw.gov.au you will see it is inaccessible, and in 
| fact, has been for a week. A message advises that the system is down 
| for “system maintenance.”

Step-By-Step: Moving Your Server To Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Many of the steps to an Ubuntu Linux server setup are either trivial (e.g., 
| selecting a language) or similar to the desktop installation process (e.g., 
| choosing a time zone or providing information to set up a default user 
| account). Others, however, are very different from the Ubuntu desktop setup 
| process, and some require your careful attention.
