Servers will be migrated off of Linode

[Null]

Hola.

So Linode was hacked.

http://wptavern.com/linode-confirms-data-security-breach-that-matches-recent-wp-engine-attack

Following an entire month of sporadic downtime and three full days of consecutive downtime I've felt really bad for Linode, but now they've apparently been breached and have forced all users to change their password. This is a total failure. Combined with their pessimistic locking of my Infinity Development website, I cannot allow myself or my services to be subjected to this any longer. 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.

Current runner up is Digital Ocean.

Discuss.

[Philosophy Zombie]

[John Daker]

Do we have anything to worry about from the hack?

 

[RP 520]

So we're packing up and going on the server trail? Who will die of dysentery?

 

[Pina Colada]

Just as long as we can all continue to keep track of all the gossip in the Kiwi Family!

 

[JU 199]

Linode? More like shitode!

No idea.

Running an Internet retard TMZ is hard work.

Very smart. These people are retarded.

 

[ATM]

just shut it all down dude, lolcows were a mistake

 

[chimpburgers]

I'm impressed with how patient you were with the service. A lot of people were already switching to other services and making that known to the Linode Twitter account when that shit was going down. They were nothing but complete shit in all of this and really unprofessional.

 

[Abby]

So Chris won?

 

[Morbid Boredom]

Do what you have to, man.

If you need to fit within a bandwidth window, you'll have to do some kind of phased backup. I suggest you disable media uploads during this process to slow the growth of saved data, and begin backup immediately.

 

[Alex Krycek]

So we should all change our passwords again?

 

[Broseph Stalin]

Moar liek Kike-node, cuz wit jewz u looz lolol

Wait, are you suggesting that Null should disable attachments?
