ServerCrate compromised

[blergh]

Recovering backups can sometimes just mean that those nodes were not nuked.  The provider then puts on some spin that they managed to save the day for at least some of their clients.  Not saying it happened in this case.  Why do I not see Servercrate advertise anywhere?

I doubt he'd do it just for the PR. He's discontinuing the VPS-branch/services very soon as far as i know. This would also explain the lack of advertising.

ServerCrate (Owned/Run by Robert Clarke) has a nasty reputation here due to Clarke compromising RamNode (and attempting to compromise other providers) in the past, causing Nick a ton of grief.  Relevant -

The restore was a bare metal restore.  The other two nodes had /vz in tact, so the configuration was rebuilt after a reinstall.

This is in part, why they recommend putting /vz on it's own filesystem.

So now he's recovering his VPS service just to retire it?

In light of "we were just hacked", "our owner hacks other providers", and "we will be closing shop soon anyway" this page makes for hilarious reading:

Another example of why it's impossible for me to take teenage hosts seriously.

I think the lack of advertising by the little spoiled brat shit is better explained by the fact that he is banned from WebHostingTalk and LowEndTalk and therefore can't advertise on hosting forums.

There are exceptions who I think are worthy of being taken seriously.  Like these guys.

I think he disagrees.

[3/5/14, 8:09:46 PM] Robert: I've never said that anywhere

Couldn't he just say that himself? Or is he banned here or something?

 

[kaniini]

No idea.  That's just what he told me when I asked him about it on Skype.

I'd forgotten Robert tried to hack BuyVM.  I think it went something like this:

He is.
