    HostNun Abbey Violated by WHMCS Insecurity

      Interesting story. I won't comment on the above Smyth. He showed up elsewhere and keeps doing such. I have my doubts/questions. I know CC for a fact is FBI involved and had active field agents bothering people. Part of the stupidity involved the CVPS hacks. Seems like someone...

    List of VPS/Dedi providers using Colo Crossing

      Business practice in Buffalo suck. No arguing that. Very underhanded shadowy bunch of folks up there that are more into playing games than running a business. If they wanted folks like me to go away they'd: 1. Stop whoring LEB for their own advertising interests (i.e. companies...

    List of VPS/Dedi providers using Colo Crossing

    Well, no one I know has compiled a list :) Looking for VPS providers, dedicated providers, shared hosting, etc. that use CC as their upstream?

    HostNun Abbey Violated by WHMCS Insecurity

    Word has it other Buffalo hosts may be working with the FBI.  Couple of folks have had FBI come knocking about one of the companies hacked. Nice to see Bufftards use government bully muscle while ignoring the laws about cleaning up and reporting the hacks to other government agencies. Frankly...

    Looking for some feedback on our new control panel.

    Looks promising and straightforward.  OpenVZ only or? I don't harp on design, looks fine and likely runs fine without javascript crap.

    HostNun Abbey Violated by WHMCS Insecurity

    Cause clearly what happens in Buffalo, stays in Buffalo. :) Land of leaks up there with providers. Now I will say HostNun did bail/move from HVH.  After doing such there was conversation on LET where GVH said they'd welcome HostNun back anytime.  Some other provider chimed in and said about...

    Other sites on that paste: ServerHub.com PremiumVM.com keeps getting banged up.   Dom's old folded company...  Ho hum. Alexa ranking :) Nearly entirely flawed crap rank, unless they are mass buying/pilfering DNS lookups and other stuff to make it worthwhile.  Alexa toolbar installation base...

    Study finds that Bitcoin does not behave like a currency...

    I have gripes about BitCoin.  Conceptually it is swell, a good proof of concept.  Alpha to beta revision. The privacy / tracking of coins.  It is arguably less anonymous than paper money or buying gold.  Nuts that random people can point to some purchase of a Ferrari based on public transaction...

    Opinion on pre-paying?

    I am with MannDude's approach on this. I only do longer commits with companies proven to be stable and where I've been a month-to-month customer for a good period of time. Sometimes, I'll do a quarterly plan up front with established providers I haven't used, where the special is the right...

    Securing DNS Lookups via Encrypted DNS - DNSCrypt

    Yes, fully compatibles with everything on your computer that does name lookups.   No patching of anything required. Just fall the install above and should work 100%.

    Yekatarina is a ~ Russian name with some popularity.  Thought we knew someone in the low end world with such a handle/name... As for customers, unsure if in this mass compromise (there were tons more companies involved) if anything further was seen/borrowed/copied.  A pastebin'ing of the info...

    HostNun Abbey Violated by WHMCS Insecurity

    It appears tail end of October that HostNun was another, ehh victim of WHMCS insecurity.  Prayer probably isn't going to make things better in this instance. 1:HN-Matt:[email protected]:0d12d19d25f7a455a7f91166d365ca 2:HN-Laura:[email protected]:12a4e0bb36c4b9ae82a28f09b7572d...

    WHMCS Vulnerability - Latest version

    JavasCRAPT.  Seriously, JS is rubbish and neverending horror. I continue disabling and think JS spiffed sites for the most part need to think long and hard about the crap they are spewing.

    2014 New Years Resolutions

    Let's go for it :) New year resolutions... 1. More time exercising - functionally.  Walks to restaurants, stores, etc.  Heck even the mall might be fine as I do trips around it with the rest of the senior citizens. 2. Plant more food -  when spring finally arrives it is serious growing time...

    Is Bitcoin a Real Currency? David Yermack NBER Working Paper No. 19747 Issued in December 2013 NBER Program(s): LE ME Motivated by Bitcoin’s rapid appreciation in recent weeks, I examine its historical trading behavior to see whether it behaves like a traditional sovereign currency. Bitcoin...
