Mark, your story is convenient. It also does not match the statements of others at PivX who also claim to be involved in responding to this incident.
According to an e-mail that I received earlier today, “The forensics.pivx.com mail server was trashed.” PivX corporate counsel contacted me with the following query: “Why did you change the password on our server?” Then I received a follow-up from PivX counsel after I denied doing any such thing: “Our forensics server had the password changed so I figured it was you!” The conclusion was thus: “Don't worry about the server. It is being re-imaged.” This makes me go Hmmm...

Forensics is a division of PivX and we manage that server. There's patching that needs to happen, so we took it down. Sorry for any chatter about this today. Obviously, there's some mis-communication here. Hopefully this clears it all up.
