I know. I'm taking the risk with it for a few more days because I was already in the process of moving those apps to fresh boxes (the other app is http://mondrian.io http://mondrian.io). I'd rather not take them down because they get considerable traffic. At this point I'm just keeping the server alive until I can fully replace it - not using it to do anything new.
I did immediately change www's password again and de-privilege the ssh key that that box had been equipped with. In fact I've recently started always ssh-ing into servers with the -A flag so I don't have to give them keys at all.
So far I don't see any more mysterious activity. Thanks for the word of caution.
- ceffry 12y agoAnother word of caution. If someone can gain root access on a machine you log into with the -A flag they can "borrow" your authentication agent and use your keys. It's only borrowing because the connection to the agent disappears once you log off. But by then they could already have added new keys for themselves on your other severs.
