[Discussion] Boxslots - Hacked & What's Going On |

[viruz99]

Well for those who are hosted on boxslots and are wondering why they are unable to connect to your servers or your sites are offline - bad news

What's going on ?

Apparently boxslots WHMCS was breached last night and all the databases were deleted as well as all the data on all their servers .

- All data on servers got deleted
* Boxslots will not be able to restore any backups

- No Refunds
* Boxslots won't be giving any refunds but will be crediting the lost days instead

- New VPS
* Boxslots is currently setting up new VPS for their users


Write your thoughts below

Personal :

Their decision not to provide any refunds to their clients is totally wrong .
Now that all their clients data and hard work is lost , its up to them to decide whether they want to stay or find a more secure host in which case they will require their money to get new services instead of forcing them to stay .

This is the reason why to use self-coded billing system

Sorry Mate , According to boxslots - this will not be possible at all unless you saved a backup on your own.

After few cases, webmaster still lazy to make backup. Luckily I made backup 5Hours b4 WHMCS breached. Just spend 5-10min for backup ur data, it will save ur ass one day.

Like today. Cheers.

Especially with the recent rapidspeeds issue , everybody should have taken a backup

I made my backups last night , again if anyone is using wordpress , theirs a nice script called wptwin (costs money) ,or use this wp plugin ---
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/backwpup/ , you can setup automated backups with it , plus it has many useful features ...

I hope my vps will be back soon ...

We are trying our best to get all things up and running back on track . It will be up shortly

Anyone who uses WHMCS should upload the security patch.
