And that's why I insist that they have gone two far or the programmer
did not understand that there maybe organizations outside "the big five"
that have many different servers under their domains.

No, the affected server were NOT server http://uma.es. The were
secondary server under their own uma.es subdomains. I will not protect
the guilty:

http://observa-e.una.es
http://www.jornadasavancehepatologia.uma.es

We have hundreds of different servers with their own names and
subdomains with their own administrators.
