    arg i hate dealing with lieing hosting companies

    I host with a company called lelahosting.com
    i have a dedicated box with em

    well yesterday my box is "hacked" and evidently the script was running for well over 12+ hours and sence i paid for it to be managed ... i think tha tis kinda fucked up

    but get this .. they put the blame on me ... i said okay whatever

    then i make a post on netpoond about all this as that is the main board they focus on ... well some other customer steps up and is having the same issue as me ... same thing happend to him


    what are the ODDS of two clients from the same hosting company getting hacked and both being on dedicaed box's and having the same thing happen to them?


    i could understand if it was some virtual shit but we both had or own dedicated box


    to me it soundslike the hosting compnay fucked up and they are now scrambling

          actually the odds are not that bad, would be interesting to know if it was the same hack.

                  it is sounding like the same thing

                  i just dont see how a managed server that i am paying extra for them to manage can be under attack for 12+ hours running a script deleting shit from the server and writing crap data over


                  i just dont get it

                      there was a drama on that board a few months ago about them.

                              odds are great ... the hackers start scanning of ports on an IP range , then targets the vulnerable ones ....

                              Sorry for your problems, but this is something to expect, so you have to try to prevent it ...
                              I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                              But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                                                                  i could understand if it was some virtual shit but we both had or own dedicated box


                                                                  to me it soundslike the hosting compnay fucked up and they are now scrambling


                                                                  I'm sorry that such thing happened. Please contact us if you will decide to change your hosting company.

With practically every host backups are optional regardless of whether or not you are managed or unmanaged. "backs of your data at least nightly"...? How much hosting do you do that you back up nightly? By experience most clients that do choose to have backups are more likely to have weekly or monthly incremental full backups with the possibility of key data like databases and configurations backed up daily. Suggesting that it is 4 hours of work is plain silly, you don't know if he had 10 gigs of data or 500 gigs of data to be restored or combed through.

With practically every host backups are optional regardless of whether or not you are managed or unmanaged. "backs of your data at least nightly"...? How much hosting do you do that you back up nightly?

With practically every host backups are optional regardless of whether or not you are managed or unmanaged. "backs of your data at least nightly"...? How much hosting do you do that you back up nightly? By experience most clients that do choose to have backups are more likely to have weekly or monthly incremental full backups with the possibility of key data like databases and configurations backed up daily. Suggesting that it is 4 hours of work is plain silly, you don't know if he had 10 gigs of data or 500 gigs of data to be restored or combed through.

                                                                                                                                  Listen, I'm not saying that this is a good host or a bad host - sometimes bad things happen at good hosts and of course bad things are prone to happen at bad hosts. But, if we're trying to have an intellectual conversation about this situation, let's keep the comments educated and unbiased for at least his sake so he can learn from it.

                                                                                                                                  Depending on the complexity of the compromise, it's also not fair to suggest that completely redoing the box and finding all of the exploit(s) and potential problems is something that is quickly done unless you are simply doing a fresh install and restoring known good data over-top.

                                                                                                                                      The reality of managed hosting is that the customer is still responsible for ensuring their 3rd party software (forums, trade scripts, etc.) are secure. Keeping the hosting company's end of the bargain is easy - only a really piss poor host wouldn't be able to keep up with patches.

                                                                                                                                      My experience with clients is that they upload and forget it. As long as it functions they don't care. So when patches come out, they are never applied and their site becomes insecure. Can you honestly blame the hosting company in that scenario? No hosting company can keep up with every 3rd party software release...

                                                                                                                                      I feel bad for Chris, but... he should have had backups in place... I always recommend clients backup their data, especially if it has value (sentimental or monetary), often. I can't see why anyone WOULDN'T back up often. Bandwidth is very cheap and backup services are quite affordable.

                                                                                                                                      Chris, you could always have the drive sent off to a data recovery place. They usually aren't cheap, but we've done this for clients in the past and had a couple success stories (and a couple non success stories... but the good shops don't charge when they don't recover data).

                                                                                                                                      Good luck.

                                                                                                                                                                  what are the ODDS of two clients from the same hosting company getting hacked and both being on dedicaed box's and having the same thing happen to them?


                                                                                                                                                                  i could understand if it was some virtual shit but we both had or own dedicated box
