  • naphets66, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2The sites this has happened to keep rolling in since I wrote this post, all hosted with Layered Technologies. If you remember, they were hacked a month ago when 6000 passwords were taken.
  • naphets66, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2Ask Woopra and TwitBin. Do they have a VDS site? I have a dedicated server. That's what I paid for. Unless you shortchange customers?
  • acrim, on 10/27/2008, -0/+1I know several layered tech dedicated server customers and they have all been affected.

    I don't know anyone who runs a non layered tech server that's been affected.

    This is still happening as of today, I can confirm this thanks to my own server being maliciously attacked, including the deletion of backup files on the server. (i have offsite backups, thankfully).
  • naphets66, on 10/27/2008, -0/+1I dumped them as of this weekend.
  • naphets66, on 10/23/2008, -0/+1This thing is still happening today.
  • naphets66, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1And the date on the password hack was wrong. I am still living in 2007. It was a year and a month ago.
  • naphets66, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1I wish I could edit the title. I did not mean to claim any fault on Layered Tech's side, just that all of the sites affected so far have been on a Layered Tech server or one of their resellers' servers. Please prove me wrong, because I want to be.
  • shiftdelete, on 10/24/2008, -0/+0This happened to my dedicated server as well. I have been working for the past 4 days trying to restore and reload everything.

    Layered Tech continues to deny all blame. I have contacts that have reported dozens and dozens of servers being affected by this recent exploit--- all at layered tech.

    Where was the leak? I had regularly changed my root password, and the server was VERY secure.

    If they would acknowledge the issue, or would have informed their customers of the issue, I would probably be a little more calm. However, they continue to deny any fault, and even BLAME the customers for this happening.
  • LTADMINJPS, on 10/20/2008, -1/+0This is false. No where in your posts do you show that layeredtech.com is hosting the virus or spreading it on any of its internal sites. You are simply looking a shared host managed by a 3rd party on the network and claiming the entire network is hacked and helpdesk which is not true. There is no proof of a hack that happened a few months ago and leaked 6000 user accounts. The one that did happen was over a year ago and all clients where informed at that time along with the general public. This to me looks like some lame attempt for you to get traffic to your site.
