Old OpenNIC News
2006-01-24

Sometime in the past 24 hours the OpenNIC list server inexplicably over-wrote the file containing the discussion list's subscriber addresses with a partial copy of majordomo's help message. We don't know yet whether this was a bug in majordomo (the list management software) or an exploit of some as-yet undiscovered security problem with it.

We've restored as much as we can, but anyone else who had been subscribed to that list will need to re-subscribe now. Instructions for this can be found on the lists page.

We have posted a notification to the discussion list about this; if you don't receive that notice then you're not among the addresses we could recover and will need to re-subscribe.
