Last week while looking at the CVCC web stats I noticed a very high 
count on the admin login. Over 70,000 hits in 4 days!! Well it turned 
out to be a hacker in Arizona trying to gain access to the account. I 
blocked the IP address and the attempts stopped but yesterday I received 
a email from the host admin saying that the Content Management System 
being used was vulnerable to attacks and they would have to disable the 
web site until a upgrade was done. This comes at a very bad time for me 
as I am leaving tomorrow for training in West Virginia after that I have 
another class in Roanoke the following week. Then I go on-call until the 
end of the year. This morning I removed the CVCC site until I have more 
time to deal with these issues.
