psychophil: So true. “I know how to setup a server. How hard is it? It looks just like Windows 95.”

Thats whats happens when somebody brings in their nephew who ‘knows all about computers’ to set up the web site.

Heh. And it looks like the anonymous account is enabled on IIS 5. Someone is going to get in a shitstorm of trouble about this.

And, really, why would you have FTP open? Close it. If you need it, put it on a separate box.

My guess would be they got in via FTP:

ftp 207.114.6.197
Connected to http://www.wypr.org.
220 vwww3 Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0).

and excuse me but why, why do they have FTP open to the world?!?!?!
