"The Layered Technologies support database was a target of malicious activity on the evening of 9/17/2007 that may have involved the illegal downloading of information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and server login details for 5 to 6,000 of our clients." “分層技術支持數據庫是一個目標的惡意活動對2007年9月17日傍晚可能涉及非法下載的資料，例如姓名，地址，電話號碼，電子郵件地址和服務器登錄的細節， 5日至6000的我們的客戶“ 。

In addition, we are asking all of our clients to change the login credentials for all host details they have submitted in the past 2 years. This includes any login credentials for the following: Cerberus, Modernbill, Encompass, and all servers you own and operate with LT, all services that may have submitted passwords in the past for such as Webmail, Remote Desktop, SSH, MySQL, cPanel WHM, FTP Backup storage or similar services.

I cannot imagine the impact on big clients like Automattic, which has hundreds of servers from LayeredTech.我不能想像的影響，對大客戶一樣， automattic ，其中有數百個服務器從layeredtech 。 I too use one of the servers from LayeredTech and just finished changing my passwords.我也使用其中一個服務器從layeredtech和剛剛結束的改變我的密碼。 Imagine the effort for Matt & Co. Don't be surprised if your wordpress.com accounts are compromised too.試想，努力為馬特公司並不感到驚訝，如果您的wordpress.com的帳目太妥協。 If hackers have root access to WordPress.com servers, which they will have as root access is required to be provided for many support requests, then they are free to change all your account details, delete them or post on your behalf.如果黑客已經根獲得wordpress.com服務器，他們將有root身份訪問是須提供許多支援的要求，然後他們可以自由更改您的所有帳戶的詳細資料，刪除它們或張貼在您的代表。 So in summary there is a full possibility of major disruption of service.因此，在簡易程序是有充分的可能性，主要的服務中斷。 Looking forward to hear from期待著聽到來自 Matt馬特 & Co. about the impact on WordPress.com.公司有關的影響wordpress.com 。

I think LayeredTech handled user accounts negligently in the first place.我認為layeredtech處理用戶帳戶疏忽擺在首位。 This is inexcusable.這是不可原諒的。 LayeredTech have opened on us the floodgates for spam and more probably much more. layeredtech開放對我們的大量垃圾郵件和更多的可能是更多的工作。 At least I didn't have my credit card details with them.至少我沒有我的信用卡資料與他們。
