Hi Grab,

I'm also seeing an issue trying to set up new package links.  I'm able to enter my username and password, see the packages I can link, click the icon to link it, and then it refreshes to the username/password screen without having set up a link.

Is this at all related to the issues you're having with the botnet?

The annoying thing here is that NewLinQ is actually quite stable with no errors. I did a test shutdown of newlinq, leaving only the webstore and mysql active - and it still died after a bit.
