Hello everyone!
As a cousin project to my free host monitoring, I decided to do some simple lists to see the status of ads vs host viability. For me, most important is the paid host side, because of the exponentially greater security and fiduciary responsibilities. Free hosts come and go, and will contain many hobby projects. However, once a host decides to charge money, they implicitly are tapping the force of law for client responsibility.
But what of the hosts' responsibility to the clients!? I will stay bird's eye on my aspect. I have no particular interest in mapping which price points proved risky, or servers/services offered.
If I may be permitted a small joke, since we appear not to have any mnemonic savants with us at the moment, all my list does is recap the ads posted and then click the link to see if the company in fact still exists. I know that some owners have done proper shutdown procedures. I also know many have not, and payment details of those clients are likely floating in the shadow zone, posing a percentage risk. No particular data piece is guaranteed to cause problems; cumulatively, this unsecured data leads eventually to identity theft.
