NCSA Power Outage

The NCSA 3003 data center lost power this morning at approximately 0735 CDT. This impacted both the VM servers used by the ISDA group as well as the openstack instance hosted by NCSA. This outage caused most of these servers to reboot, which in turn caused most of the virtual machines hosted on these servers to crash and restart.

We are currently investigating if there are any machines that did not come back up and will restart them. Feel free to contact the admins with any questions or if you notice one of the machines you need is not back up and running by noon central time.

NCSA OpenSource Emails

As some of you might have noticed the confluence server started to send out emails with an invalid FROM header as well as a prefix to the subject. The emails would have "Actividad sospechosa detectada" added to the subject header as well as made it look like they came from "Soporte BBVA Colombia <someemail>".  These emails did indeed originate from confluence, but the outgoing email address of confluence was modified.

Once this was brought to our light we immediately started to work with the NCSA security team to investigate this incident. We have discovered how this was done and have mitigated the issue. We are currently investigating if anything else was modified, however we not discovered any other modifications done. We will continue to work with the security team as well as do a more thorough investigation of what this user accessed. If we discover anything specific we will contact those projects and people affected.

These changes were made on September 27th 2018, at around 5:30pm central time. We undid these changes September 28th at around 11:00am central time.

The main groups using HipChat and FishEye/Crucible have moved to using other software. With none of the main groups using this software I would like to retire these services on NCSA Open Source. My plan is to shut them down at the end of May 2018 and. At the end of May I will backup all the data and remove the services.

HIPCHAT AND FISHEYE ARE NOW STOPPED

FishEye/Crucible alternatives:

You can use bitbucket for code reviews. Since this is the service used to host the code in git, this works really nice together.

HipChat alternatives:

For Hipchat most groups have moved to Slack.

Feel free to contact Rob Kooper if you have any questions.

Migration HipChat Server

The HipChat server has been migrated to a different hypervisor. If you notice any issues please contact opensource@ncsa
