Wow. And I just saw they bought out Verio and the rest of Site5 as well.

Have you checked to see if the issue status changed? If you're still having issues and a service issue is resolved you may submit a ticket. The point of that response was, if a service issue was already reported and acknowledged and the text of the issue description said "we're working on it, please refrain from opening tickets", please don't open a ticket. Perhaps I could have worded my response to you a little better, sorry for that.

I'm looking to move off of my current shared hosting provider onto something that offers a bit more reliability and speed. I have four or five domains all running wordpress, but I'd like to do a bit of experimenting with other content systems. Would moving everything over to AWS be a good idea or would it better better to go with a different provider?

If you are just a shared hosting user, don't use AWS or you will get completely ruined/hosed if you overlook something and get your card hit for $5k

My dad has Alzheimer's so I got him a cheap chinese GPS tracking watch so we can find him if he gets lost. The watch will upload its position via GPRS at a set interval to any IP address or domain you specify. I need a cheap/free vps that can read the coordinates as they come in and generate a table of Google maps links for the last 10 known positions or something. This should require minimal cpu/bandwidth/storage. Any suggestions?

Your resource and bandwidth requirements don't even justify a VPS unless you're a control freak

Cross posting this- I have to distribute files to multiple work from home users (using VPN) who aren't able to reach shares on the domain due to... well, I'm not sure really. Either something with Corp IT security policies or something with Net Eng and the routing. Either way these users can't hit shares on our primary domain even though they have domain accounts (AD restrictions?). Anyway, I need to find a way to get files out to these individuals. Preferably a method that would involve them clicking a simple batch or vbs script that will pull down the files from (somewhere) and replace them with files currently on the PC. There's a webserver that serves pages to all users regardless, so I think that's how I'll have to go about it, but I'm not sure where to begin. Will this have to be like a FTP thing? Thanks for any help in advance.

I admittedly have a Linode account (dns and dev stuff) and am in the process of cancelling everything. The DDoS's are still going on, the management portal is very unstable and server latency is miserable at best.

Bob Morales posted:How many big ugly security breaches is that for them? Ugh. I'm fairly confident that Linode has been compromised since July, if not earlier. I work for one of those three customers (not vNucleus - that's a side gig I do because I enjoy it) and we moved off of Linode after an incident in July. We've been under strict gag orders from legal about that incident until today when Linode finally announced their compromise. Really, the only way I can see that this attacker could have gotten in the way they did (they logged into our Linode Manager account on the first try using a username that wasn't used anywhere but in Linode Manager, using valid 2fa and valid password) was if they had access to the Linode Manager database, which echoes the announcement today. I'm pretty sure that the recent WP Engine compromise was achieved through the same attack vector, too. The CEO refuses to let the engineers move off of ColdFusion. It's really sad. They've got some good engineers there who are forced to work with bad tools because of the CEO's ego problem. Edit: Looks like they're finally getting the goahead to rewrite - an engineer posted on HN that they're rewriting in Python. Good to hear!

Yeah. At least my sites (NJ datacenter) are up and running and snappy. For now. It's funny, a few weeks ago I started writing some ansible playbooks for provisioning my platforms in case of just such a problem. Kinda abandoned it over the holidays. Looks like I should get back to work on them pronto.

We were affected, as was the entire data center, including its in-house brand NetDepot. The attackers hit the edge router instead of actual machine they wanted to offline. Around 2 hours of intermittent downtime on New Year's Day . Sometimes you feel bad for the network engineers who mitigate these onslaughts.

Hey, an upside to my slowness in moving away from HostGator (EIG) to Linode, since I had no clue there were these sorts of issues with Linode until I was reading about all the ongoing DDoS stuff. Was going to have our US office add credit card info to our account this week after months and months of procrastination. Guess that's on hold. I was just about to ask, "is DigitalOcean fine for running production websites?", then realised that I obviously don't care, since I'm using EIG right now.

Had two small charges for Tmart (never heard of it) and then a $300 purchase online at wal-mart.com that went through. Which means they had my full info. I've been on a very short list of sites since the LAST time my card got stolen (also was on Linode, hmm........) including basically Amazon and B&H and not much else.

my bank auto-blocked linode yesterday apparently; valid non-expired cc that has been paying this for the last 2 years We attempted to process payment, but your credit card issuer declined the transaction. For the time being, your services are still running; however we require the balance to be paid Thank you for using Linode.
