RE: [cobalt-security] [RaQ3] Hacked ... a summary

Postgres is needed by the control panel and most of the Cobalt OS uses the
information stored on that database. Keep it running.

Outch. That's of course a stupid error. Thanks for the pointers! I just
removed the links for Arkeia and Networker and the mysterious ports are no
longer open. S99... starts Postgres on my end.

Reminds me of something: When I disable Postgres (which I don't need as I
have MySQL installed), then the security monitor mails me periodically that
Postgres is no longer running. Does anyone know where this security monitor
is located, so that I can take a look at it?

Best regards,

Michael Stauber
