I am sorry for any damage which may have happened I hope we can all stay friends :beer:
Thats what happens when you host with a provider that allows free hosts
and the free host use animated systems to create accounts, So they have very limited control over who has accounts on the server.
If I wanted a reseller for a paid host I would check the providers TOS to make sure they are exlucing free accounts from being on the server all together IMO.
Free + paid dont mix.
Im not trying to attack anyone, Just saying if you wanna sell resellers to free hosts its best to have them on a differnt server
Excuse me, but for a start, you were the one who let in the damn hacker, so I suggest you be quiet.
If you need support, submit a ticket. You haven't submitted one in a month... We don't ignore people, why should we? We've done nothing but help you ever since you signed up and I can't stand people who do this kind of thing.
You are being refunded and terminated from our service.
@ Sym0n: I'll email you now
Me confused..I thought it was the OP that had the hacker...now its another person too or did you just get confused for a sec? Or did I completely miss something :S.
I hope everything's worked out for you as that last post showed some signs of frustration.
OK, we've had 3 hackers
3. TornadoGaming, his free host let in a hacker on about 12 different accounts which has pretty much crippled the server. Then he comes along and complains when we've done nothing but help him... I mean, really. I'm getting so sick of this kind of thing lately (If any of you are DP/WHT members, you'll probably know why)
The only security issue on a shared hosting server is usaly the clients.I know that the severity was a little bit higher on the incident I am at fault for, but I mean, come on. If you see a security trend in your server going down, I would have rather you taken the server offline instead of it being vulnerable towards the next set of hackers...
You just hit me with a ton of bricks...
As for you, I bet I could order a shared hosting account from you and ---- up your server in 10 mins.(Not that I would hack anyone or do things like that)You have been hacked a total of what, 3 times now? Ever hear of server security and hardening? Apparently not.
You are showing disrespect to your clients (ex-clients, whathaveyou). You clearly knew it was there, hundreds of accounts causes an immense amount of overhead, you cannot tell me you didn't notice that and let it go un-noticed for months?
Sorry not trying to start a flame war, but to me it seems like common sense.
* Get real security for your server
* Actually monitor it
Do those two simple steps and you should be golden!
Sorry. The ToS was not visible on ConnectHost.net. I bet you $5 you cannot find there whole Terms of Service Page located anywhere on there site. The target URL is live, but there is no link on the site, so how your clients know not to allow free hosts?
Pretty sure the OP allowed free hosts too...
And I am not complaining. It is just a shock that I come home from work to see my service terminated without warning and then 10 hours later realized I let in a hacker...
Well, I am really sorry for what happened, but don't you think after being hacked on 2 occassions that you could get it right the 3rd time?

Free hosters don't go un-noticed. Free hosting you are talking about HUNDREDS of accounts -- so you CLEARLY KNEW he was doing this -- that is your ignorance.

Most hackers get in to a server via someone giving them access :lol:
Its called social hacking.

Its not hard. It dont even take a brain, Shared hosting is only as secure as to how smart the people on it are. :knockedou
What I find funny is the fact you really are naive enough to think a certain amount of security will safe guard you, Being cocky is when things go very wrong.
I managed a free host for some time, Only ever had one hack attempt where all they did was upload a scam site.
I didn't have full blown security systems, I had knowledge and clients with knowledge that knew not to let every tom ---- and harry access to the system.
We used very stricked guidelines when handing over access as we knew that any one account could become the exploit to the next hacker. Its impossible to stop.
Even hostgator gets haxed.

Its pretty easy to bring down a shared servers, you can do it with a simple php file. However there are ways to reduce risk.As for you, I bet I could order a shared hosting account from you and ---- up your server in 10 mins.(Not that I would hack anyone or do things like that)
Now, I didn't even look at the list of accounts until after the hacking... I had James tell me that there was a free host, but I didn't know it was one with 700 subdomains :eek3:
