It would be nice if you posted a statement about what the fuck is going on, beyond the "we are working on it".

nextri · 10-16-2010, 07:33 AM

I feel it's probably better they spend their time on fixing the issues rather than delaying the fixing to go on messageboards to post. They are probably stressed as hell right now..

zagi · 10-16-2010, 08:04 AM

An attacker broke into the network and was able to gain access to the servers, corrupting their OS and making them inoperable. Our only option at this point is to format the machines and attempt a restore from backup.

This is a critical emergency for us and our customers and we will attempt to do everything we possibly can to provide service.

superdio · 10-16-2010, 08:13 AM

OMG damn!

gleem · 10-16-2010, 08:32 AM

Holy fucking shit, bad month to have lost my local external backup to a harddrive crash.

been meaning to start my company over again, nothing like having a hacker push a reset button to get you moving.

Agent 488 · 10-16-2010, 08:46 AM

looks like they host a fair bit of pirate sites. sucks if someone hacked the network for that reason.

You need to try and restore the smaller servers like say... I dunno.. rtv.gleem.. the back up is only about 10-30 gigs.. Don't start with the big sites first, will take forever!!!

MikeFold · 10-16-2010, 08:55 AM

looks like vidz.com is there

Domain Broker · 10-16-2010, 08:56 AM

so every server suffered from the same vulnerability, or

every server had the same global administrator account/password, or

rogue employee.

which one is it?

Oracle Porn · 10-16-2010, 09:03 AM

i had a vidz sale just few minutes before the downtime, wonder if it will disappear.

CyberHustler · 10-16-2010, 10:42 AM

Good luck in getting this shit sorted...

sandman! · 10-16-2010, 10:45 AM

im guessing someone hacked one of the servers with ssh keys on it for all the servers and then used some script / bot to log in from there to all the servers and wreck havoc

they just ICQ'd me the same, but can you imagine how long it must take to restore from backups say a huge tube site client? some of those guys have dozens of drives over multiple servers. I assume since they are their money cow's they'd get the first restore, how long till the 100mbps clients get restored..

I wanna go get my backup, anyone live near there (brooklyn)

?

wizzart · 10-16-2010, 11:23 AM

xvideos.com and vidz.com are down because this

AdultEUhost · 10-16-2010, 11:29 AM

Good luck with getting everything back online, being hacked always sucks

bolsex · 10-16-2010, 11:30 AM

wow! major problem!

Niktamer · 10-16-2010, 11:51 AM

damn, sincerely good luck all

this is titan stress source & huge money lost for everyone involved.

icymelon · 10-16-2010, 12:05 PM

moral of the story is to have your own backups locally. I try to backup my important sites once week

CrazyWhiteMan · 10-16-2010, 12:11 PM

fuck this shit, this sucks!!!

ffmihai · 10-16-2010, 12:13 PM

i hope you guys called everyone at work even if its weekend.

pixovore · 10-16-2010, 12:37 PM

We have good backups at Vidz,
we do not know how long they will take though.
RCN guys are on it.

webair · 10-16-2010, 12:46 PM

How long has it been down?

madawgz · 10-16-2010, 12:46 PM

i dont think they can move forward with the backups until they figure out how this happened so history doesnt repeat itself...

can also be extremely difficult knowing that a backdoor can be lurking anywhere

What a nightmare scenario, I wish them and clients luck and perseverance through this situation. That said, if more hands on deck would be helpful I will put myself and a couple techs in a plane to come out and help in any way we can. Fuck. I'll bring redbull. Call me on my cell if we can do anything to help, seriously. Everyone that's a client- sit tight, pray, be patient - go drink heavily - RCN is surely working it systematically and phone/email/icq requests don't help them get this done any quicker.

gleem · 10-16-2010, 02:05 PM

they just told me:

we are still working
right now we are checking/verifying backups
which will take
maybe 1-2 hours
then they start to restore boxes

They should at least bring back realitychecknetwork.com online and post some news there. We are all in the dark.

Still 1-2 hours ? I don't believe it ... we will see.
