If so, always a good investment. I hold some ip space, thought it would have been way more up by now but you know... Long term... Always nice to have.
If it doesn't pan out, summerhost, exit scam = profit.
wait are we sure this is real? maybe it's another disgruntled employee?
Duck me, I should stop thinking out loud.
Few comments back I wrote before your comment :-
I feel like I might've called it but this is exactly what happened in veloxmedia
Really bad for the folks who have servers on Dasabo imo :-/
So @Dasabo you have time to send emails increasing prices but not time to notify your customers of your data breach?
the important things 1st ! money and after the info about the data breach !!
Just have to register with APNIC... So dump about 2 grand... Gotta register a business too... Maybe not dox myself on the business registry...
So much admin work that I hate, I wanna build infrastructure and networks 💤
What baffles me most is that someone would have the big brain idea of running a should we leave vote at the exact same time as pushing prices through the roof. Wouldn't you do that before you predictably piss everyone off or could it even be that massive amount of no votes played a role in the green lighting of the email?
There was no external data breach, as previously explained; in any case, we already sent an email yesterday.
I didn't get one.
Oh, you only sent it to the few customers who had bogus transactions?
How do you know this intimate collaborator didn't exfil your database and sell it?
When I found out that there is a hosting provider called Realtox Media, I legit thought you had started a summer host.
We've sent the email to all customers. If you haven't received it, please privately send me your email address. I don't know who you are among our customers, and I'll be happy to forward it again.
It's probably still on the way, didn't get any mail
Don't worry, once I'll; do I'll make sure to post an 'for immediate release' so it won't go unnoticed and you get your expectations right
@Dasabo I'm not sure I got an answer for this. Have you? Sorry if I overlooked it.
but
so it seems that unless they operate purely b2b that doesn't fly even before it comes to the may be subject to additional administrative fees part.
LowEndBoxTV: The downfall of Dasabo
At least this was available till only two or three weeks ago from their offer thread. I nearly bought it... Pure bait'n'switch ?
Feels like something that deserves a severe warning and rightfully removed provider tag.
But I'll guess doesn't matter, as he'll already opened the exit for himself with his "vote"
That's why you can't take anyone serious that fancy themselves some C*O title in a sub 10 people business. Same shit as sole traders talking as "we" all the time.
Anyways, guess I am lucky to again have dodged a bullet or two here. That was close...
Also: chargeback yesterday. Stripe won't be happy.
So I get the email for price increase but nothing about the data breach. Some steep price increases therefore will not be renewing any of servers with Dasabo.
So much for being transparent @Dasabo
Sorry, I have a question.
Regardless if it's external or internal, but since this incident involved the misuse of customer and financial data, shouldn't this be reported to the DPA under GDPR?
This was something similar to what was happening at Veloxmedia iirc. not good
If the employee had access to the PII in the billing software as part of his daily job, the billing software doesn't store card information, the card charges were made as Stripe API calls, and there isn't any proof of leakage of customer data, there isn't anything GDPR-related to report to the authorities.
The fraud should be reported to the police. The police are the only ones who can investigate the fraudster's personal computers, and it's their responsibility to act on it if they find evidence of a data leak.
If I were in Dasabo's shoes, I would consult and report it to the GDPR authorities, but this would be done to cover my own back in case more issues related to this employee show up later.
I would also inform all customers, let them know a few have been charged and refunded, so they can check themselves. But again, this would be to cover my own back in case smaller charges or other illegal activity hasn't been discovered yet and surfaces later on.
Dasabo is in deep trouble if the fraud hasn't been reported to the police and there actually has been a data breach that hasn't been reported to the GDPR authorities.
But again, he has moved the company to another country several times after 1–2 years in each country. There might be a natural explanation for this, but if it has been done to cover something up, for example tax fraud, he isn't interested in involving the police.
Don't forget the UK company has been registered as dormant the entire time.
If the fraudster has been employed in the companies that have been or are under liquidation too, it gets complicated, because they were operating in multiple countries (UK, EE, IT).
If Dasabo has used a Stripe payment agreement that was made between Stripe and one of the liquidated companies in the new company, and Stripe finds out during their investigation, they will report it to the police and then there is a good chance Europol will get involved too. (Screenshots of payments indicate this.)
My guess is this case is a lot more complicated than Dasabo is trying to make it look, but it is not GDPR related.
This is guessing and legally you shall not inform and report based on guesses, but on evidence.
This most basic failure certainly makes the entire story seem nonsensical.
To me anyway.
According to https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4792210/#Comment_4792210, "engaged legal counsel to proceed with a formal complaint to the competent authorities.". Not sure how much of that is actually true, or if it even happened. The bottom line is, none of this ever really made sense
All tactics with closing/opening new company same as for all other. Internal BS to check, if an user is dumb and wont check accounts for any deductions, in hope to get some bucks illegaly earned.
After closing company to not get sued of any last clients.
Here we go again !!
