Servers will be migrated off of Linode

[Joan Nyan]

We've officially become refugees. Thanks, Obummer.

I'm not sure how I'm going to move gigabytes, if not terabytes, of data off 10 servers to a different host, but it will be done in the next month of two.

What's most of the content made up of? Do you have these servers divided by role?
Could you share some of the technical details of your project?

Also you're worse than fucking obama and this is all your fault... if I was linode I'd bribe the manila police dept to rape you with an AIDS tranny.

And how the fuck will any of us function without the pedo boards?

I don't know why they tolerate those guys at all the whole internet including google thinks 8chan is a board for pedos and it's a massive liability. Have fun going to court to discuss how much underage buttcheek is legal.

We could probably save a few gigabytes if we got rid of all the nude photos

I blame n00l, he's fat and gay and I would not sleep with him.

 

[ColorfulCassowary]

Hm. I thought the problem was resolving itself since it was down less on my end. How do you go six months and not tell anyone you're compromised?

 

[Splendid]

lol you're lucky its only that much, try running ED and doing that every 6 months

I wish this was EDF2 so that I could rate you "Nobody Cares"

"Legally", I guess.

I'm not convinced there's a serious, long term issue with Linode yet.

This recent DDOS thing and their account credentials issue were pretty close together, so I could see them being related.

I'm going to wait until I see a more elaborate evaluation of the problem before making an opinion.

^That's it right there. Six months and no warning is given to clients?

Lolnode is fegs. Fuck 'em we movin on up.

 

[autisticdragonkin]

Does this mean that there will be a long downtime as we move our forum

 

[I_Am_Honor_Roll]

Waiting until Phil posts a FB status claiming responsibility for this.

 

[Doc Cassidy]

Could I die from this?

 

[lolwut]

So we got megacucked?

Other way around. We're cucking Linode with a younger, fitter server host. #CuckLinode2016

@TrippinKahlua sorry bro you gotta change your passwords again

 

[0xDEADBEEF]

One of the servers my employer uses is hosted on Linode, and was part of the current DDOS attacks against Linode as well. Someone from China brute forced their way into an SSH connection we'd left with password logins enabled. They installed botnet malware that we're pretty sure was used to attack Linode itself.

The fact that Linode's attackers sent no demands (according to one of Linode press releases about the attack) leads us to believe someone in China was attacking Linode for some political reason.

We're staying with Linode, but it is troubling. All DDOS attacks end eventually.

Also, everone shitting on Linode in this thread needs to understand what a DDOS attack is.
A DDOS attack is when a server gets flooded with so much data it can't handle new requests anymore, and shuts down. This is what has been happening.

There's really nothing Linode could have done to prevent this. Some malicious actor out in the world was spending a LOT of money on botnet power to take Linode's servers online. They were literally under internet siege. It sucks that we had downtime here but it's not really due to incompetence on Linode's part.

So some of the employees are saying that Linode tells them to lie about security breaches. Seems like the CEO is a dickhead and it's probably best to move on.

So we should all change our passwords again?

I admit it seems kind of odd I respond to this, but every other week or even month you should renew your password. It's always the smarter move regardless of circumstances.
