Subject: [SECURITY] any specifics on the George Mason University breakin?

Would anyone be willing to share
specific information on the GMU breakin?
It would be helpful to know exactly:

-- what type of system was broken into?
-- what type of vulnerability was exploited?

I certainly understand if this information is not forthcoming.
But I thought it would be worth checking.  Contact off-list
would be fine as well.

Thanks,
