The thing is, Microsoft makes millions, has a large dev team but just makes bad decisions. Windows XP was topper, Vista a flop, 7 topper, 8 a flop, Blue is supposedly going to be a topper
SolusVM are a bunch of students who dropped out of school, call their room an office and just put together a bunch of 1st-year-in-PHP code.
Microsoft actually tries patching it (redesigning the security would be better). SolusVM just acts like everything is flawless and perfectly fine
"Windows is insecure" is a line from the 90's, when it ran on DOS, had no protected memory, no permissions in the file system, no auditing, no security rings, etc.
Microsoft sent all their developers to intensive security training in the late 90s and instituted security audits and testing as part of their development workflow. They also adopted the POSIX model and security rings in NT (plus NTFS) into Windows. XP was the first result, as was Windows 2000 (a pretty damn good operating system for its time)
Which was somewhat of a downfall for them as 12 years later, people are still happy using XP and have little motivation to upgrade.
Yes, so if SolusVM keeps making the same mistake, why dont providers try an alternate option such as Virtualizor? And, I can confirm they are looking into it according to what management told me.
My website hosted with them went down about 2am PST. When I logged in, Apache wouldn't start because the log files dir has been wiped. Just great.
My node seems fine with apache, but haven't tried to ssh
I have 4 vps on ChicagoVPS (2 Chicago, 1 Atlanta, 1 LosAngeles) But only Chicago locations give only ping response. Atlanta and LosAngeles gone. My customers very angry for this subject. I have no backup I hope ChicagoVPS keep backups.
@BlackKnight How do you you now keep your own backup? Even if the hosts takes backups you also need to have proper working backups at all times.
I know I know. I'm very upset right now
This is the reason i make daily backups of my vps's
Yup, same old thing too. exec() too.
sigh
VPS plans give you more than enough month transfer to backup important data daily. backup it up nightly to your house automatically...Not having backups is just lazy IMHO.
Has anyone heard anything from ChicagoVPS yet? Nothing on their twitter, no response to tickets.. Are they even working on this?
There's like 3 comments buried in this thread.
Yes they are, they have posted here and vpsboard.com. Also it seems like they posted an email, not sure though.
Mun
Just when you thought it was safe to buy another VPS
Ah I see the comment now, missed it on my first read through. Still, that was around 4 hours ago. I'd expect them to put out an update at least once an hour on the status..
Relevant
nope. It's almost 8 hours and no contact initiated by cvps. How pathetic. The least they can do is send an e-mail to all of their customers. But I imagine since some are still up, they don't want to let them know about their incompetence. I'm disappointed but not too surprised with such cheap and oversold plans.
Does anyone have a mirror of the database leaked so I can check if my credentials were exposed?
I kind of feel like building my own VPS panel. With blackjack. And hookers.
They (Solus) really seem like they're turning our back on us and everyone who puts their trust in them daily.
If you were a customer, then it was exposed. From what I've gathered it was a full DB leak just like their last one that was leaked earlier this year. Just because your provider has failed to give you proper warning of what this could mean for you, change your password immediately.
You'd think CVPS would update their clients this time, and not just expect them to find out via LET and vpsboard.
Everything in Solus was leaked, so First name, Last name, hashed password for loging into solus, root ssh password from initial creation or changed password when using solus, and a few other things as well.
So if you do have access to your VM then change the SSH password.
4shared pulled the original pretty quickly but there were some mirrors posted on IRC and other forums this morning - try snipped
I will be definitely out of cVPS this time.
I am not a CVPS customer, but I would recommend:
1. Change root password
2. Change SolusVM password
3. Reinstall vps
Or will anyone keep his vps without reinstall?
Can You post the php file names please?
Any other providers with decent reviews and decently priced VPS?
The examples I gave to SolusVM were all from the admincp login.php. I'm sure there are many others I haven't seen.
