Why take the whole site down then? All you'd have to do is disable
his
account.
Umm? Maybe for some real *basic* security reason? For instance, doing
forensics or making *sure* that Ross was the only pwnage, and that it
wasn't anything more serious?
So tell me Paul - if *your* password got pwned, would you take the
machine
down, or not? :)
If *mine* got pwned, I'd take the machine down, but if an unprivileged
user
got pwned, I'd simply have them change their password, *unless* there
was
evidence of problems on that host. Just because someone's account got
hijacked doesn't mean that further damage necessarily happened. Lots of
people have no access to anything except their own stuff.
