History

2/9/12 2:30pm web1: Hacked sites: We found several sites that were hacked by an unknown group. The hackers were sending a massive number of simultaneous requests out from these particular sites, causing system resources to be completely used up. This led to very slow response times on our primary shared server. We are contacting the site owners to update and secure their site code.

9/27/11 12:30am web1: DDOS attack One of the domains in the shared hosting environment on our web1 server was the target of a Distributed Denial of Service attack starting early in the morning on 9/27. We were forced to take a number of sites offline to minimize the effects of the attack. We quickly identified the targeted domain and took measures to remove it from the pool of sites. All sites except the targeted site was back online by 11:30am on 9/27. Mail was not affected and continued to function normally.

10/13/10 8:30pm web1: What happened? Our web1 server was compromised by a hacker and was being used to send out spam. We were forced to immediately shut down the mail server and begin migrating accounts to a new server. Due to the amount of data that needed to be transferred and the immediacy in which it needed to happen, we suffered unacceptable downtime for many of our email accounts. We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience and have entered a new security / maintenance partnership that we can't wait to tell you about in more detail. All services and accounts were back up as of 10/13 at around 8:00pm
