Hackers Strike Advanced Computing Networks

[Sue1966]

From Yahoo news
"Technicians at Stanford, which is not part of the TeraGrid network, quarantined at least 30 computers after the attack. It targeted computers running versions of the Linux and Solaris operating systems that were vulnerable to several recently discovered software flaws."

Interesting article. Has this also been passed to the webmaster of www.hardfolding.com for posting in the news section of the website ?

Interesting story. It doesn't sound like it's related to the folding project we know, but just a network of supercomputers that happens to have a node at Stanford. Does anyone know if the folding@home project has any tie-in to this network?
