What about the data? Have they threatened to make it public?
I think you're mixing things up. Ransomware is encrypting your files and demanding money to decrypt it again. (Which I find funny still works as you should never do that lmao).
*There might be a handful of cases where they might exfiltrate data, like employe data or patient data, but usually that's more of a classic breach. Nobody would ever bother downloading a shitload of vdisks.
I thought some Ransomware groups were to also threaten to make all the data public if the amount is not paid.
What data will they make public in this case ?
is anybody received any replacement vps till now ?
still waiting, nothing yet,,
Gosh guys, just chill. Drink water, go outside, exercise. You will get your precious VPS.
you wouldnt say that when you missing your 4 figures a week.. 3 days of wrok down the drainage, and still not even a single perosn gotten their servers back.
That are the ones that don't have a proper plan for bridging the gap by a temporary replacement.
It must be hard to just spin some hourly cloud server somewhere and get everything back online for your own clients, so it"s easier to complain about upstream not getting it fixed yesterday.
They will also complain about the provider not having backups, while having none themselves, yet getting pressured by their own clients about it.

Take your time. HostDzire is one of the most stable server that I have. And the dedication is truly appreciated. Let us know when servers are back online.
That your issue without proper backup plan with important data.
Sure, I would just move temporarily somewhere else and continue to earn 5 figures a week. But yeah moaning on the forum is easier.
If it is that important, then you shouldn't rely on one server. Except wife, you should always have a backup of everything.
I backed up my wife as well, don't you worry, my young and emotional friend.
seriously, not even a single person recive their servers, good work @HostDZire
i say this, since their last update hours and hours ago,they mentioned, all work has been done, and they started with proving servers, yet no one, not even a single person recived their servers yet, bravo,
i feel you man and i'd be annoyed too but no matter how you slice it this is a pretty major event so try to keep calm and not burn bridges while emotional.
Maybe you're just last in line 😏
The amount of people on LET who pay for one relatively cheap box, often at a place that explicitly states no backups, and then use it for something that (whether actually or just in their head) has some "mission critical" use case that can't stand to be down for an hour, let alone a few days... but have no backups, no plan for downtime, and seemingly not enough knowledge to recover during an issue... is just... yikes. This should honestly be basic stuff, folks... and if not you should be paying a lot more for "managed" services with backups where the provider takes care of the issues for you.
Really sorry this is happening to you guys. Seems like everyday, hosts are targetted with something. If it isn't hacking, it's ransomeware, exploits, or DDoS. It's sad to see - and I really hope you guys recover well. I did notice it said it's client responsibility to recover their own data - my question for @HostDZire is only this: Did you guys have off-site backups (for example we use Herzner servers proudly as an off-site backup with only access through restricted upload-only keys and no permissions for delete or anything from the remote (host servers) side) or did those backups also get corrupted as I've seen in a few other cases due to shared full-access to the effected host-nodes? (genuinely curious - I'm seeing loads of hacks happening effecting backups and curious as to what failed there)
I hope you guys a speedy and clean recovery
There's no such thing as host-provided backups. Proper people who want real redundancy and backups run systems with low DNS ttl + full-clone backup systems known as "hot spares" ready to go. Host backups are like keeping your money in the bank, but without FDIC insurance - expecting only them to remember it was there - even after someone burns down the bank and steals all the money...
But you do not understand, I am losing gazillions
I like this guy. Maybe I shall go look at their vps'
Thanks
Go read this if you feel like it: https://www.avsisp.com/blog/hosting-news/hypervisor-ransomware-surge/
Especially "KVM, and one point against our own interest" section...
Every VM client on all hosts should... tbh.
Quoted for all here:
If provider state triplicate mean you spend 3 times without fdic, really good analogy.
Like... I'm not running anything business/production critical on mine, so I do nightly backups and if i need something back ill restore it to a new box - but to @avsisp point, if you were... exactly what he said. I still think a middle ground for some of the clueless folks would be a place that has a managed offering and offsite backups, but I don't disagree with him at all that the proper way to do it is keeping everything replicated and ready to go
I recently got login details of 1 of my server. Waiting for others.
The mail says
Dear ....,
We have received your order and appreciate your business!
Your IN CloudVPS #3 ( LET Special ) have been ACTIVATED & Ready for use.
Ipv6 or shame
If you can't do another provider entirely, many people already have a backup storage for their phones or laptops already -- at least the DB dump on a cron + file system parts used in a tar.gz could be easily nightly backup to that. Most provide Linux plugins - ---for example Google Drive I KNOW you can easily integrate into your Linux box...
I'm not asking people to spend million on duplicate VMs - don't get me wrong - it depends on your own downtime risk tolerance, ability to respond fastly and fix it, and TTL of your own DNS entries and so on.
They have not mentioned anything about IPv6. Also i am still unable to access Client area.
Still it says: Down for Maintenance (Err 3)
