I requested a new vps from FSCKVPS a few hours ago. Because I am the one of lots of unlucky guys who has 100% data loss on their vps. It seems I am not pessimist, but realist. Now I am sitting back and waiting for the new vps, but my hand is on my colt. :)
FSCKVPS (they are part of Vaserv) post the following message on their status page:
"Dear Customer,
We have worked tirelessly through the night and over the last 48 hours to recover as many VPS as possible. However, we have now reached the end of all of our servers, and as such, if your server is not currently up, or not partly up (i.e. it is up but not working due to a configuration issue) then it is unfortunate that you will have lost your data due to this third party attack.
We are offering all customers who have lost data a brand new VPS on our new platform. If you are in the position of requiring a new VPS due to your old one not coming back up, please submit a support ticket with the subject ‘New VPS Required’, and including the specification you ordered in the message. We will then start to provision these straight away. We will aim to have all new servers up within 6 hours at the latest, of course providing no new issues occur. If you have your own backups you can then restore these onto the new VPS.
We will also be providing two months free hosting as compensation to customers that have lost data and require a new VPS.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused, and your patience and understanding in these very difficult times. Regards, VAServ Team."
Two days ago my virtual server provider, fsckvps.com had been hacked.
You can read a very long forum thread about this attack and the chaos here So all of my websites/webprojetcs went offline, and they are still offline today.
I hope FSCKVPS's staff is working hard and fast and they will restore my vps asap.
But it is only a hope. I am so pessimist, I think my datas will not be restored.
And I will have to reconfig my vps and rebuild my websites/webprojects.
Not a nice future vision.
Because I don't know when will be my vps/websites online again now I redirect temporarily all of my websites to this blog and I will inform you about my vps/websites issues here.
I post this first blog entry with date of 2020 (edited! - back to 2009), because I want it to the top of my blog. If you want to read the full story, start here please.
