    Answer and final decision.

    How was it discovered: We do random screening for keywords in all public folders and if a result is returned we then investigate further.

    Generally yes there would be a 48 hour warning however with the volume of material it was determined to suspend the service because the files were in the public_html folder that with our system can be accessed via a Direct route using the server name.

    I have moved the files out of the public view and will be unsuspending the service to allow addressing the issue.

    @bdspice Please see the latest reply to your ticket, if you have any future concerns about this issue please request to speak with that representative directly.

    Given their history of asking users to 'leave the default password unchanged for root VDS' and taking long time to respond with this answer, this is complete BS, probably scanning people data 24/7

    Hold the fuck on. They asked users to not change passwords? I always recommend changing default passwords even if its a random password to another random password. 0 trust. Keep who knows the password and how it's found to the minimum. If they said don't change the password I would ask for a refund and run.

    they didnt ask anyone to not change the password. they just said users that change them "start to border on the untrusted side"

    speaking of which systemfreaks suspend my s3 bucket because it has some porn. When I asked he said I can't store porn on public bucket. They all are the same.. They check clients' data.. has no privacy !!!

    Was the bucket public, and was the porn available through it?

    No, we don't like watching gay videos. And as I said, in Russia, all porn distribution is prohibited.

    Usually, responsible organizations quickly send a notification about the distribution of such content. Just like when trying to distribute tools for hacking, phishing, copyright infringement, etc.

    What about gay novels? Verboten verboten verboten?

    Yes. LGBT is restricted as an "unwanted organization" and anyone who supports this "organization" in any form runs the risk of being targeted. For example, if you run a personal blog about your gay life, you might be at risk.

    Local law is strict in suppressing globalist propaganda about LGBTQ+ and non-existent genders. That's why many movies produced in Western countries and shown in Russia are modified due to censorship.

    I'm not sure why but the thing that keeps popping up in my head after reading all this is those videos you get in India where someone cleans someone else's eye with their tongue.

    I had a vps with them and I thought it's too fast like nothing else is running, made me think they suspend vps when they feel like it. Maybe a stupid thought, but thats what my brain concluded :p

    This needs full context

    if the files are in public_html, does it actually resolve to anything to be publicly viewed.

    I have had storage from providers in the past it has had things like dummydomain67876587.com which unless you buy that and direct it who is going to know that exists on that server even if it is in a public_html folder does not mean the public can see it.

    The fact the provider has been warned for months about snooping and possibly because this involved porn the customer would pay up, say nothing out of possible embarrassment is something I would question too

    I think someone in this thread said that public_html is the only folder that you can actually upload your files to, so you might be forced to upload it under that folder. But @bdspice needs to confirm officially

    I hope they can firm it one way or the other.

    If the sole purpose of their server is backup storage, why have they not just firewalled web ports to block all traffic while still allowing control panel ports to allow access to file manger that maybe built in. That would stop anything like this being "public" in the first place.

    OP states it is not public and CH states it was in public_html, someone needs to be clear does anything resolve to the listening name or are dummy records being used when DNS is created.

    What is happening in Russia is not comparable to the rest of the Western world (including the UK - https://pa.media/blogs/fact-check/russia-has-far-more-restrictions-on-social-media-use-than-the-uk/).

    Your other comments relating to LGBT, etc. restrictions only further confirm this. Wherever you stand on this or any other similar matter, discussing or talking about these things online is not censored or restricted throughout the EU, UK, US/Canada, or indeed many other democratic nations.

    I think the moderators should close this post @Arkas . Members are trolling this post for no reason. The main thing is simple, the guy violated the TOS and that's it.

    For example, if I create a hacker app on the server to hack everyone I can, in the end the person who RENT me the server catches me and then people on LET ask the seller of the server how he found out that I have a hacker app on the server he rented me and they attack him for that, because he browses in privacy. Come on, please!

    You can think in multiverse whatever you want. But fact is moderators shouldn’t close the thread before take the final decision as @DP said earlier. Main thing is the guy (me) violate the tos but provider also violate the tos by invade privacy+asked for money. Thats why this thread come to 20 page.
    Your example is irrelevant. Hacking and porn storing isn't same at all.

    oh. have you been threatened? you sound so submissive.
    again: what have you won? 500GB ftp storage or something hosting-like with public_html?

    Perhaps I missed it, but just to clarify, did you make any of your files publicly accessible via http(s) or via anonymous ftp?

    correct question and still now answer (i am on page 20 right now).

    Someone said the panel used is CyberPanel, in which case (unless it has been changed), the FTP root path for the domain is the public_html folder.

    The CharityHost website also states for the FTP service:

    Free litespeed public asset hosting bonus for data in the public_html directory. Use the domain on the account to host html and assets with free ssl.

    Granted, it remains to be seen whether a resolvable domain was linked to the service. However, it is also reasonable that the user could have assumed the files were private by default, as one might expect of ‘FTP Backup Storage’.

    @bdspice Was the content accessible from the big bad web or was there a directory lock?

    Since its ftp server, so it shouldn’t be accessible from web. Even provider domain is invalid (ftp.myfullname.com). So i never Though of that it can be accessible before storing data. Now i find that it cant use ssh also, because it is ftp server

    you don't have to explain anything here, because this thread is not about west versus east. you should understand that even if you despise the west, because it has something to do with at least normal intelligence.
