Has any of your servers ever been hacked?
Or if your a reseller, have any servers your reseller account is on been hacked?

Did it cause much damage and did you lose anything?
What did you say to your customers?Did you have their data backed up and did it cause any problems if you didnt?

Did you end up losing money or sleep over it?

I have never had a server hacked (knock on wood) but I have had plenty of clients change their passwords to something dumb and their accounts have been hacked.

I was on TurnKeys server a few months back, and it got hacked probably twice and I lost everything, alot of clients, and they were not too pleased, nor was I, but I hold no hard feelings, could have happened to any one of us.

Yeah. Our servers have been hacked. Luckly we werent truly open for business yet and still pretty new to setting up security. However, with the hacking and such, it sure helps you out on improving your security for the company. I started out with mandrake, which I heared it has a couple of security problems. I suppose the people that hacked into our systems were some type of enemys of ours. I had to do a total format, and reinstall and setup everything. I got our systems back up now, and they are running pretty good & secure. Im setting up a system that will backup all files for each user, so I wont get b*tched at by all the users. Hopefully it will all work out pretty good. With all the hackings we have gone through, it couraged me to setting up a proxy that will deal with intruders. Ive been trying to figure out how to set it up, but yet no luck at doing so. I think im going to give winblowz a try at being a proxy since ive had years of knowledge with it.

Well I never have gotten hacked, but before I started selling web hosting I was having my site hosted on a diff. company. They got a DDOS attack and shut them down for 3 days, they had to put in a $4000 firewall in to stop it.

I thought this post could have been a little fore runner when the site was down the other day

Hehe Gordy.
Would have been if the server was hacked

Our servers havent been hacked until now and I hope it will remain that way

That has happened once to me, tell you they create better passwords now - lost all their hard work in a few minutes.

Touch wood so far, not been hacked (dont want to either lol)

I myself have never been hacked. Of course though I had a customer on a reseller account a couple weeks ago who had a very simple password and he got hacked and his customers db was all lost. Luckily my admin had done a backup of that server that night and everything was restored with a new password of course

Never been hacked, i think I just got out of my old host just in time because his box just got hacked, now I really have to get that security stuff done

Pass the piece of wood Mark - not here, just one client who was silly and gave his details to 'a mate' to do some work for him and wrecked his whole site

A mate :lol:

That's rich!

I just got my server secured yesterday, tmp secured, a light firewall installed kernel upgrade, I had a 2 year old kernel running on a brand spanking new box! If your looking for security go to www.rack911.com, Steve is great, and knows his stuff! I got all my security stuff done for $20! I was very impressed with how professinal he was also.

sorry - should have said an 'ex-mate' :beathim:

Never been hacked, been attempted but they never got out of their directory. Dealt with lots of hacked boxes, more so the last few months.
