Temporary outage of kgsmc.sch.lk Posted: 23 Feb 2010 01:45 AM PST Temporary Unavailability of Web Hosting Services for Schools We have discovered a security compromise that has taken place on 19th February 2010 - Friday night.  At the moment we are investigating the matter further. Current findings indicate that there is some data loss and some of the backup files have been affected as well.  We will be restoring the available data from the backups and NOC staff will be contacting individual  schools to update them the exact impact of this event on their school web site.     This event apparently has taken place due to a some weaknesses of the original framework adapted for hosting School web sites.   While deeply apologizing for the inconvenience due to possible data loss, we will make use of this opportunity to setup a different more secure framework for hosting school web sites. Such a model we believe , to a great extent, will reduce the possibility of this type of event occurring in the future.  Until the new framework  is established, the web hosting facility for the Schools will not be available. We expect to finalize the new framework within this week.    We expect your kind cooperation to get back to normalcy as quickly as possible.   We at web team of St.Mary's College are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by this.
