System monitoring detected and reported activities with serious security 
implications for the server. Your account was involved. For forensic
purposes I disabled your account, and preserved its state.

I'm not sure how the /pub/scm/release.sh counts as "private content".
I have pasted it below verbatim.  I do find the fact that you deleted
this short shell script from /pub/scm, thus breaking the git hooks 
that use it, to be a curious thing to do.

As for other "private content", I assume you mean the remaining directories
in your home directory.  These will be placed in a location you can securely
download them from.

The security of project resources takes precedence in this situation.
Please do not attempt to gain further access to the server.
