"We have discovered the cause of a limited attack on websites hosted on
Network Solutions Unix servers where a few hundred sites were affected.
Hackers were able to add a file displaying illegitimate content on top
of the customer website content. This was an issue on multiple servers
and unknown intruders were able to get through by using a file inclusion
technique. There was no danger to any personally identifiable or secure
information."
