[General] Horde disabled


Thursday, March 6th, 2008 - General

We have temporarily disabled Horde webmail across all of our servers as a security precaution. We have learnt through a security bulletin from cPanel that there is an exploit on the Internet that is affecting Horde. The cPanel developers are working on developing a patch for this issue. They have advised that all webhosts disable Horde to prevent the vulnerability from causing problems on the servers. This is the advice that we are following and this is why Horde has been disabled.

I don’t know when the patch will be rolled out, hopefully it will not take too long. However for the sake of security we decided to follow cPanel’s advice and disable Horde for the time being until this issue can be sorted out.

All of your e-mail and Horde settings will remain intact. Nothing has been lost. You can continue to use Squirrelmail for webmail. Once the issue with Horde is resolved we will re-enable Horde on the servers and you will again have access to Horde.
