Vitaly Borker is probably the most famous proponent of the "there is no such thing as bad publicity" marketing plan and look where it got him...

USA based company (payment processor, hosting company, etc) = they can't accept any business from Iran due to sanctions but... Stripe's UK operation is owned by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd and the TOS is governed by the laws of Ireland. The bank processor is also non-US: Valitor hf (registered...

"there wasn't a security compromise either." and then in the next paragraph "Two files: cron.php and /admin were accessible to the public. These should have been secured with additional rules"  umm, if someone was able to access the files because they weren't properly secured that's a security...

Depends on your definition of "hack"  If you go by the common street meaning "information theft" then there was no known hack (that has been discovered or acknowledged) but if you go by 18 U.S.C. § 1030 then  it would probably qualify as a hack. ("protected computer" is basically any...

They're not as effective as practicing basic security on a daily basis but quarterly scans are a requirement for (Internet) merchant accounts [yes, I realize most low end providers don't have merchant accounts].  Sometimes they might even discover a vulnerability that the site owner missed. As...

It's a little late to be putting firewall rules in today when they've been in operation for 2 years. They should have secured that directory when they installed WHMCS (not to mention changing the admin folder name).  The WHMCS documentation also suggests moving the crons folder to a non...

What data breach? We're here to discuss WHMCS's bad coding and the out of control cron job!. If there had been a data breach (which there wasn't because Jon said so),  then Jon would need to notify all of his customers and follow the notification procedures that 46 states have in place.   If...

Don't try to blame Spencer.  I read in the cestpit it was ALL YOUR FAULT! :P

It can't be too confidential since "VP of Operations GreenValueHost" is posted on his LinkedIn profile for everyone to see (see the link I posted on the first page of this thread ).

They need to hire someone competent to deal with the issue.  Jon doesn't have the necessary skills to deal with a security breach and I don't have much confidence in his new 'VP of Ops' (granted my judgement of the new VP might be clouded by the "DCMA" [sic] graphic on his site)

The WHMCS documentation doesn't say whether it sends out emails but if that option was enabled it poses a huge security risk (mainly because idiots tend to  use the same password everywhere), and GVH clients should seriously consider closing their GVH account because there is no legitimate...

Yep, and they're doing a Fabozzi and blaming it on the software maker. Quote from their new "Vice President of Operations" : http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/26078/gvh-password-reset/p2

I did NOT request sexual favors from any of the contest participants in return for my vote.  I merely offered to vote for them if they mailed $50 in cash in an unmarked envelope to my post office box. Congratulations to all of the winners!

The GVH children are completely lacking in experience and wouldn't know a security breach if it bit them in the ass and they wouldn't know how to  find the cause of the breach after they were hacked. Their latest  "VP" and top systems admin is a kid fresh out of high school last year with an...

OpenVZ slabbed inside of VMWare ESXi

It states 'Debian" but doesn't give a version on LMDE: "lsb_release -r -v" returns "Release 1" probably because LMDE is a rolling release

DotDeb will work on Linux Mint Debian Editiion (LMDE). edit: should be  /dev/null

Dewlance doesn't have any credibility, but then again neither do many of the providers who you zealously defend and who received votes (like GVH, CVPS, etc), and Dewlance's reputation really isn't much worse than that of LET/LEB (read the comments on places like WHT where LET/LEB is thought of...
