SCD recently discovered that some unauthorized
users had gained access to meeker. Since they had been on the system for some
time before they were found out, it is impossible to know for sure how they got
in; however, it is likely that the first point of entry was with a legitimate
user's password that was read off the network wire when the user typed it. (This
is the main reason why SCD is going to encrypted-only connections on 1 August
2001).
Since SCD has no way of knowing which user they originally got in as, all users
are asked to please change their meeker passwords.
