Salt Bugs Allow Full RCE as Root on Cloud Servers
The open-source Salt management framework contains high-severity security vulnerabilities that allow full remote code execution as root on servers in data centers and cloud environments. And in-the-wild attacks are expected imminently.
Looks like they weren't kidding...

I would reread the thread from last year to refresh my memory on how I previously solved the same issue.
I would read any notes that I created a year ago when I replaced the faulty USB drive
Next I would replace the USB drive with the clone that I previously created
Finally I would restore my recent metadata backup
@krisleslie Replace the the thumb drive like you did last time. Problem (temporarily) solved!

Data is right.
Was scrolling through Fakebook earlier today and ran across an ad from Genuity comparing themselves to Spiceworks. Anybody checked out their demo?
Anyone else using virtual monitors on your 4k setups? I've been using DisplayFusion's Monitor Splitting feature for this.
I only have a single monitor ATM, but this allows me to split it so that it behave like I have more than one.

Perfect timing... now you can test the upgrade process. 
@scottalanmiller Oh... I guess I misunderstood when the OP stated
No. It's a brand new Wordpress site at a new server for a domain that has been active for 20 years.
So the WP site is brand new, but is associated with a long existing domain.
@JasGot said in Casual and open discussion about how certain addresses are targeted for hacking.:
es, it was not. Which is why it is so weird (to me).
Or maybe it was being attacked and the other hosting company had previously blocked the requests like you did.
I'm assuming the site was also under attack prior to moving hosts. Have you confirmed that with the site owner?
