Just received this on Skype from Nick @ RamNode

[Marc M.]

[7:20:11 PM] ServerCrate+RamNode: Hi! I'd like to announce that servercrate and ramnode have merged. In a couple of days all of ramnodes VPSes will be transferred to avante hostings premium high speed network.
-Robert Clarke
CEO of ServerCrate and RamNode

(Sorry if you received this message multiple times, had some issues with the broadcast.)

========================================================================================

I assume that it was broadcasted to everyone in Nick's contact list.

Looks like someone is up to no good again. If anyone has any info please post it or contact Nick. This has to be dealt with.

 

[D. Strout]

I have it too. Damn that kid!

Merged your topic with this one as it was posted a few moments before yours.

Just fishing here but I don't think it was Clarke. My nick on IRC was occupied as well. Looking at the IP it was a Canada IP address: 184.75.213.194 Amanah Tech Inc. (AS32489)

 

[kaniini]

That IP appears to belong to a VPN provider.

 

[Francisco]

They're connecting from 168.63.55.14, which is a microsoft owned IP.

Got via @ramnode twitter:

Please ignore any mass messages on Skype received in the last few minutes. They are fake.

@Francisco could it be one of them fancy Azure VMs?

Got via @ramnode twitter: Quote Please ignore any mass messages on Skype received in the last few minutes. They are fake.

Duh, we've all gathered that much. The better question is: who did it?!

 

[tdc-adm]

Yes, who did it?

I asked Nick on Twitter.

 

[D. Strout]

RamNode just came online and sent out "ignore". I asked again on Skype who did it, no answer.

 

[Nick_A]

Please ignore the messages--obviously it was an account takeover. The situation is fixed now.

Tell me it didn't happen due to password reuse?

Edit:

Please ignore any recent messages regarding ServerCrate. RamNode has not been sold and is not merging with any other company. There will be no changes in service as implied by that message. My Skype account was merely hacked, likely with social engineering, and has been restored.

 

Thanks,

 

Nick

Is this Clarke guy the same one that admitted that he hacked RAM NODE SolusVM?

 

[jarland]

Children.

Is this Clarke guy the same one that admitted that he hacked RAM NODE SolusVM?

The name is reference to the same kid, yes.  I doubt he was actually stupid enough to do this himself (he's already been "framed" once, some time before he uploaded the backdoor to RamNode).  Nor do I think he's clever enough to actually do this himself in his own name for the purpose of making people think "he got framed again".

My two cents - he pissed off yet another skid that decided to have some more fun at his expense.

Or maybe he didn't actually piss off anyone, they just felt like framing him for the lulz.
