Re: FOAF sites offline during cleanup

Yes, when Dan has recovered from the more urgent tasks he has, it would be good to have his reflections on what happened.

I think the primary question I would like to know the answer to is:
"Was there anything special about it being a "Semweb" site that created a vulnerability."
Was it an equivalent of an SQL injection for SPARQL, or maybe it was through a SPARQL endpoint, or something else RDF?

Or maybe it was "just" a standard hack, and we shouldn't get ourselves over-concerned about the RDFness.

My sympathy, of course.

Hijacking this thread back to the original topic:

How can we help? Two important areas to start working with:

1. How to get your servers back online in a clean uninfected state and,

2. how do we provide security recommendations for people who publish
semweb data online?

Anyone who is willing to help out?
