At no time was the FBI onsite at The WELL or involved in monitoring at our site. WELL decides to bring the system down so we can re-build the damaged file and do further investigation. WELL staff shuts down WELL computers. Approximately three hours after the incident the damaged file is rebuilt. Shimomura reports that they are hours from catching the suspect.
Monitoring continues in full gear.
In the interest of their privacy, we will not say. We believe that at least a dozen sites were compromised. We feel it is inappropriate to enumerate all our security measures in a public forum. To the extent that we are able to determine, no credit card information was accessed by the intruder. We monitored nearly every keystroke of the cracker.
