ChicagoVPS / CVPS Hacked. New SolusVM exploit? [PT 2/2]
- Thread starter Magiobiwan
- Start date
IPB staff is fixing it.
The thread was over 30+ pages, then due it being 'archived' (by mistake) and UNarchived it lost half it's content. The content still exists in the DB, and it's being imported manually.
In fact they added half of it earlier today but as you can see it was inserted after new content. Page 17 had the most recent discussion. Then they added 5 pages of old discussion ontop of it.
It's a mess but we're working on getting it sorted to preserve all the original content.
Make a PT2 if you wish, and I'll merge the two topics together when this one is finally preserved.

How long do we have to wait until all the archived threads are back online?
Well, they tried and it still didn't work.
Probably what I will have to do is create a new thread. Hide it from public view, have them restore the old thread content to it. It will remain archived / locked. This thread will be a continuation of that and duplicate entries in this thread that exist in the restored version will be removed. That way all posts are restored though they may be 'archived'. Had to make a compromise.
That is part of their response.
Being the weekend now, I am unsure when this will be resolved.
One step at a time, I s'pose. That'd be the best solution really. Just getting the content back would be nice.
The CVPS thread isn't the only thread, a couple others need some manual restoration. They're going to investigate a few issues I reported that caused the forum to kind of regurgitate after enabling the archive feature initially.
EDIT: Working on restoring all posts now. All content is back, just removing duplicate contents between two threads and will open it back up.

Hey guys -
I have a number of VPS accounts with ChicagoVPS and lost a lot of data, time, and don't trust these guys. I asked them for a prorated refund on half of my VPS and Adam (Kevin) was rather rude in his responses and just said No and blamed it on SolusVM then closed the ticket.
Do I have any recourse? Any suggestions?

Pro-rated refund seems like a reasonable request. I'm sure many others demanded much more than that.
Care to post the ticket screenshots to verify this claim?
I just took my data off it after it got restored, then kept it running until it expired on the 4th ... didnt even ask for anything because I read around they just won't respond, plus, It already served the time i had it for and it was time to move on back to another provider.
I just thank god i didn't take their cPanel deal, would've been a nightmare!

Why is that? How would that have been more of a nightmare than having a regular production site or something on there? JW
Well, the amount of work it would have required to get another cPanel VPS up and running, then restore the clients backup, an old one might i add on it after setting it up would be just crazy and very problematic! Considering i was slacking on the backups the last period before it went off
cPanel backups are easy, as is cPanel setup. Takes like 5 minutes to get everything running and restored from backups if you know what to do.
Ofcourse, and i know that, but ISP's are so crappy here it could take up to 72 Hours to get the DNS records properly propagated ... that's why i said it would be a mess, at least in my area
