Hello everyone!
Many of you know me here as the owner of Synced.org and I wanted to jump on and make a post about the current activity of Synced.org instead of some other kids posting negative things regarding situations they do not understand.
We are on hold for accepting new accounts. This delay started about 3 days ago and will continue until Wednesday, OCT 4th. It could go a bit longer, we hope it does not.
It has come to our attention there were two users on one of our machines exploiting cpanel privileges and a few more users using a new form of spamming through our smtp mail system. We are one of the few free hosts who permit smtp relay and we will continue to, that is why we are delaying new accounts - so we can fix the problem. We were contacted by AOL as it appears a few users were forging AOL accounts and using our servers to send out phishing scams, sneaky kids these days!
We will be back soon, and for the records a blanket e-mail was dispatched to the hosted clients on one of our servers. This server was the most heavily impacted server in a negative way. We will update this post with the ip's of the users and as much information as we have on them as possible. Thank you for your understandings, see you all soon.
