  Madcityservers has been hacked

  We dont have access to the billing support panel and do not have access to many of the servers and have no way to contact any customers. We have been hacked. Hackers want 200k to let us regain access. We missed their deadline this last saturday and they have since started deleting servers. We are trying to meet their next deadline.

  Information taken from their network status website.

  Lmao, what? How do you lose access to your own billing support panel (I suppose they mean WHMCS)? I mean, sure, the hackers may temporarily change the admin password or whatever. But any semi-serious operation is going to have daily/hourly offsite backups to fall back on in case of emergency. I'm not buying it.

  I got burned on Madcityservers the first rug pull, thankfully never went back after that. What a shitshow.

  "Since we have no user data base anymore". How did they even manage to configure their own name servers? The hosting companies I started over summer breaks when I was in middle school were better managed than this.

  yea if you say anything bad about them, he will pm you with insults instead of posting it publicly for everyone to see. Weird Behavior. If a mod checks their pm inbox can probably find a lot of these instances. I'm guessing its to evade getting reported to a mod. Also there is no way to report pm or block pm directly like on here.

  Oh, its not like i mind or anything. He can call me names all day long if that is his shtick. I just want to be able to share with my fellow LETers since sharing is caring!

  I'm just surprised the dude is not banned for it

  Same old story, different brand. Nothing surprising.
  Months of silence, then a fresh rebrand, loyal customers again, and gone.
  Bonus points for the usual excuses like “I was sick” or “the owner died”.

  Well, i guess people hardly put in the effort to involve the mods, who likely have better things to do anyways. He isn't doing much after all. A bit of lashing out here, a bit of lashing out there... Hardly anything a semi internet savvy person can't shrug off and if he wants to make an ass out of himself why not?

  Its just sad only a handful of people get to enjoy the experience but maybe if we all tag him we can manage to summon his grumpy spirit. Like when you say Beetlejuice three times in a row. We just need to stick together and channel our divine chakra energy (or some shit).

  Seems he got temp banned for potential evasion. I guess the mods didn't know all that much about "allowing him in" and there won't be any messages for a while.

  But, 4th? No..!
