I updated 4 servers two weeks before school started and every one of
them got hacked right after that. . .I still don't have them all back
working again after re-installing them. they had been running rock
solid over a year and two of them longer than that with little to no
upgrades. I figured newer would be better and more secure. . .
WRONG! I will not make that mistake again!
I DO NOT recommend automated updates at all

I wouldn't do automatic updates either, but I do update
often and am not aware of any recent new Centos vulnerabilities.
Do you have any idea what happened?

I have no idea what happened other than that after the udatres, 4
updated servers got hacked and rootkits were installed. Different
rootkits on each one with different consequences.<br>
