Me, I think we should BAN hosts that mix it up on HackForums.   HF is basically a bunch of criminals and juvenile delinquents.  Sure there is legitimate activity and DIY know-how, but far too much criminality. Would I buy a house surrounded by a crack house, meth lab and place where they fight...

So is Alex joining CloudShards or sale and he is gone? CloudShards is on the move with another acquisition.  Congrats!

So is this storage offer going to see the light of day?

^---- This is the story of these  projects rolling out of Buffalo.   If you were rolling out some big, bad servers with the right ingredients to be a true "cloud" solution, you probably wouldn't be racking or renting from ColoCrossing, especially not in Buffalo. I claim the term VAPOR.   I am...

Wow, Google just loves their rack.

Yeah another horror name. Clouds are hard?!?!?!   Oye!  G'damn cloud seeding and weather modification. Sounds like bullcrap to me like so many offers from cloud delusional buzz word folks. Is this the company?  http://www.hardcloud.net 99.9% uptime for a design (cloud) that is supposed to be...

I know why they don't want Fran and Pony in the datacenter.... They don't want them seeing the Iranian flags over in the next cage.  Or the fine Persian rugs.  

@LorenKelley,   welcome to the site and glad to have you on board. There are lots of merchants here and the entire card gateway concept and protections is mostly absent to them. I'd like to chat with you / help define some information for the providers for anti-fraud and alternative payment...

Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but BlackLotus filtering in the offers --- hadn't noticed that before. Very good pricing on the offers!

So, this morning was talking to a seasoned provider about this issue. *FOR THE RECORD* historically I've only dealt with real merchant accounts I've negotiated with large banks and require proper credit worthiness and are regulated fairly heavily. Take on the Stripe situation seems to be much...

So they claim about Niagra.   More like Buffalo power is cheap since the city has lost over 50% of their population and most of their industrial production capacity: 1950    580,132    2012    259,384 Both NJ and NY are taxed to death states.  Wonky prices in both places.

@tchen, I looked at the Stripe link.  In this instance Stripe verified address and zip as valid.  They also verified card itself as valid (even though all of them were reported stolen). Since Stripe passed the info, I assume it's them and not the plugin/payment API piece.  If it wasn't for...

Sad to see 24khost going out like this :(    Was one of my favorite hosts for quite a while. JJ, get it together.  Here if you need some help.

^--- that's scary Damian.  Thanks! More evidence to support auditing Stripe payments and holding accounts for manual approval when Stripe is payment method.

I am utterly dumbfounded how the transactions were authorized by STRIPE. I made recommendation to push on Stripe about these and get an answer.   Since Stripe has no phone and sticks you to e-ticketing hell who knows when/if a response will be coming. Stripe had better come clean on this and...

Who around here is using Stripe (stripe.com) for card transactions? Beware, while Stripe claims PCI-compliance and to be all secure, they fail to even do basic live authentication on accounts presented. I would say no way, not true had I not seen 4+ examples of this utter failure this morning...

More info on these transactions: 1. The orders mostly had UTAH in all caps in order details. 2. The details on the person ordering the service were accurate.  They are real people.  Phone numbers even match per se (although old). 3. The cards being used are STOLEN and reported as such in the...

Shouldn't be hard ALL CAPS is the fingerprint on these attempts --- in selected fields... Not all fields. Accounts were set with Utah addresses.  Believe there were prior attempts in past weeks with Peru addresses also.

Someone sent me something this morning... They have ongoing fraud/hack situation involving WHMCS and Stripe payments. The hack involves generated credit cards that seem to get through Stripe as valid. The orders are identifiable as certain fields in the account info are ALL CAPS. So far the...
