  • I want another free 6 months, GO!

  • @jarland said: However, if someone wiped the VPS on the nodes via an "exploit in SolusVM" isn't it implied that SolusVM was accessed by a third party? Therefore the information contained within is compromised. They should have added that wording, but the logical conclusion should still have been that for the reader.

    I'm not sure what you are talking about when you quote me specifically, but have you seen the letter they emailed out to their customers? It said nothing of an exploit, or SolusVM. Did you mean to quote me?

    This is a service advisory notice from ChicagoVPS as we noticed you have one or more active VPS with us. As we've recently noticed an increase in customers utilizing easy to guess passwords, we are requiring all VPS control panel passwords to be reset as a precaution to protect your VPS container and its contents. We are performing a password rotation often as part of our new security policies and also to remind you as the customer to do your part in keeping your password secure and to use a complex password. We also recommend changing your passwords every few months.

    From Feb. 28, 2013 onwards, all current VPS control panel passwords have been expired. You will no longer be able to login with your old credentials, and in order to access your control panel moving forward you must access https://manage.chicagovps.net:5656/login.php and click on the "Forgot Password" link. By doing that it will send you an email with a brand new randomly generated password.

    Thank you for being a loyal customer of ChicagoVPS and for your cooperation as we do our part in keeping our users safe. If you have any questions please submit a support ticket.

    If you were a client during the original hack then you would have gotten an e-mail about SolusVM being compromised. So you would have known about the database leak.

  • @kebar

    No cc info was in the db that was leaked here before.
    At most it had your real name and an email address.

    And ofcourse your vps ip and info about that.

    SELECT nodes.nodeid, nodes.name, COUNT(vservers.vserverid) FROM nodes, vservers WHERE nodes.nodeid = vservers.nodeid AND (vservers.ram / 1024 / 1024) = '2048' GROUP BY nodes.nodeid HAVING COUNT(vservers.vserverid) > 1;

    Just wanted to say, you folks have absolutely made my day. And I agree 100% with @DestroyeRCo (http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/218557#Comment_218557).

    See you next year. Maybe.

    You are recommended on these forums all over the place and have customers from here that comprise this community >.>

  • anybody who runs @Aldryic's select statement remember this was when jerimiah was the tech and now we have Kevin and I am guessing spread across more servers now.

    I was not a client of theirs in November. My information should not be in the database.

    However, them lying to me and locking my password, is not acceptable. I want a refund. This is not the first time they have lied to me or accused me of something in the past month. The node my VPS was on was DDoS attacked and I opened up a ticket since I do monitoring on it, and I was immediately accused of using 400 Mbps of bandwidth and my account had been disabled. They of course later figured out that it was another client on the node.

    **ChicagoVPS is unprofessional, and all I want to do is simply terminate my relationship with them and receive a refund. **

    You continue to talk rubbish.

    Slumming?

    Are you ChicagoVPS?

    I guess I am one of the few that gets that this will effeciently display the oversell ratio

  • Awmusic12635Awmusic12635 Member, Host Rep

    @BronzeByte Do remember this is 4-5 months old. The database mentions 56 nodes where as they have 160 now (As shown by CVPS). Much has changed since then.

  • @Fliphost said: Much has changed since then.

    I know that and take that in consideration too when I look at all those numbers ;-)

  • Awmusic12635Awmusic12635 Member, Host Rep

    @BronzeByte Just thought I would make sure ;)

    Where does it select the amount of RAM of the physical host? Only if you know what amount of RAM the physical host would have, this would be useful :)

    But apparently you have the database (and I have not, unfortunately, cause I am kind of curios myself), so perhaps it says more to you than to me :)

  • WINNING lol

  • @mpkossen said: Only if you know what amount of RAM the physical host would have

    They use E3's so 32GB max

  • @Jack said: Not all nodes are E3's.

    Most were at that time

  • @Corey do I look like my name is Chris? No just saying the fact of that they went from 56 nodes to 150+ in that short of a time frame only makes sense that they had to. To disperse the 2gb plans over many nodes.

  • @BronzeByte said: They use E3's so 32GB max

    Cool. Then I'd be interested in the results :)

  • @mpkossen said: Then I'd be interested in the results :)

    That's some precious marketing information that you will have to research just like I had to ;-)

  • @BronzeByte said: That's some precious marketing information that you will have to research just like I had to ;-)

    I was afraid you might say that. Care to share an md5sum of the sql dump so I can check the one I got (of LEB IRC)?

  • @Jack said: Not all nodes are E3's.

    Even if they had had non-E5 servers with more than 32Gb ram back then, they're most likely going to bottleneck at the CPU

  • @mpkossen said: Care to share an md5sum of the sql dump

    Don't have it, just did some good research

  • They honestly think that lying to their customers is okay. Is the only reason they are in business because they are cheap and oversell?

    Well they say they're doing good because they're "big enough to get good deals" apparently

    PS: "WINNING" lol

    Surely that sums up the largest majority of providers on LET. They are not cheap and undersell.

  • @W1V_Lee said: they are cheap and oversell?

    That's where OpenVZ LEBs are about and from the dump they don't oversell that bad :o

  • @Chan said: PS: "WINNING" lol

    lol yeah
