High Load Eagle Server

Author:Ron

Description:

The Eagle server experienced a high load this morning due to a compromised email account that allowed spammers to relay emails through the server. We were able to determine the account quickly and suspend it cutting off their access.

No files were modified on the server this was simply a case of an insecure password that allowed them access to the email account, the user has been notified and the password updated to a stronger password.
