AMSAT News Service Bulletin 022 01 From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD January 22, 2013 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-022 01

On or about 20 January 2013, AMSAT-NA's main web site www amsat org was compromised by an attacker, with the contents of the supporting database, including non-public information, posted on other publicly available web sites

It is likely that the attacker gained enough access to the site to post arbitrary and possibly illegal content, so out of an abundance of caution the main site was shut down

Neither the AMSAT store nor the Fox project web site were affected by this breach Mail services remain operational

The main site was developed roughly 10 years ago by a AMSAT volun- teers under a more benign Internet threat environment The team that built that site is no longer associated with AMSAT, so work has been underway over the last several months to move to a modern, maintain- able, secure infrastructure This recent breach will accelerate that activity In the interim, www amsat org will have limited content

[ANS thanks AMSAT's User Services Team for the above information]
