Hello. Yesterday, there was an another hacking incident to a RCF machine by regitimate password of a user. (This is nothing new. :) ) However, there is a disturbing trend from ITD/FBI. It seems that ITD/FBI started to ask RCF to turn over the actual disk of the compromised user. (For example, it would be /brahms/u in our case.) This means that if a password of one person is compromised, it will affect an entire user (for unkown duration of time untill ITD/FBI is satisfied ). Therefore, to avoid this possible pain, it is quite important to keep your machines in your institution/home not to be compromised.
