100 physical nodes in 4 months? Not doubting, just...dang.
Cameron,
This is because he decrypted the file. We did not know about this until last night either as he tried to extort money from us.
In all emails when the incident happened we advised everyone to change all passwords as a precaution. The DB that was leaked is over 4 months old, and I am sorry this happened.

As per chris...
I AM A CUSTOMER.... NOT A Scammer.
uh.. is that who you are referring to?
Jeremiah is not a provider.
Now, you know as well as I do that with the way Chris used to run his mouth around here other providers want to know what makes him so confident :P
Doesn't matter, obviously, as the company lost it's sys admin months ago, but that probably doesn't curb most people's curiosity.
@zhuanyi I am too a customer and NOT a scammer!
The level of stupid security through obscurity bullshit in this thread is amazing. Best practice is to assume that once it's leaked that everyone in the world has seen it, and act accordingly. At this point it shouldn't matter what the dump is used for, because it's out there. Of course the loudest person going on about how anyone asking for the dump must have malicious intent is someone who had a professional relationship with CVPS, so who can blame him for sticking up for his buddies, however misguided.
What really bugs me is that Kevin doesn't even touch on how they blamed their users for the password reset by claiming they have easy to guess passwords. Maybe the passwords weren't so easy to guess before there was a dump of the hashes floating around the internet?
A company that's willing to lie about my data being breached is willing to lie about anything. The way you handle a situation like this can make you or break you, and I think this will do irreparable harm to CVPS's already-shitty reputation.
It wasn't?
Jeremiah's departure allowed CVPS to grow, we now have multiple sysadmins and don't rely on just one person in the drivers seat.
Also @Jarland, be careful with your little birdie
It's not I or Curtis.
FYI it's been around for a while now.
It's a SolusVM DB leak, it seems.
I wish I didn't need a translation but it's over my head
Is there any point to this now? It's starting to get libelous...
It isn't me, and it's been around for a while. The Database got around to me via someone else on here a while back but it wasn't me.
If he told you he was Jesus would you believe him?
Kevin's not god??! WTF....
I feel cheated.
hahahaha! that made my day.
Libel requires malice. Truth is also a defense against libel or slander: "Someone told me it was you." can be a 100% factual statement, and doesn't constitute libel.
But yeah, it's still stupid if the thread turns into a bunch of idiots who haven't read the thread and are only here to point fingers at each other and ask for copies of the DB, or whether it's WHMCS or Solus. Read the thread, people. Read the thread.
When do I talk like that?
So if Kevin made a claim a provider threatened him over skype with it, he should have full documentation of the chat log. That would kinda tell who it is. Regardless. There should be no finger pointing. Kevin already said he changed all the passwords that needed changing. looks like maybe they spread some of the burden of thier vps's over more servers so took up more nodes. Not just more customers.
@Jack - or it could be him trying to stir up sh@t again, and as he can't do it himself he may be using you to do it for him, which means you may take the fall here.
And those aren't proper skype timestamps.
No it doesn't.
@Jack the one in your picture doesnt have the date in them
LowendTalk community now is SHIT, period.
wtf chris was banned!?
Where's that thanks button
Yes, about two weeks ago.
+1 for that. I was lynched and beaten mercilessly for posting a screenshot of a fake name and fake email address. Yet people feel that CVPS' data should be passed around freely without malice, with the reason that "LOL ITS ALREADY OUT THERE". These same people probably condone rape, because, well, rape is already happening, so why work to stop it? Fucking ridiculous.
I am sure there are settings in skype that allow you to change how the time stamp looks.
