Servers will be migrated off of Linode

Discussion in 'Forum Discussion' started by Null, Jan 6, 2016.

  1. 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.

    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.

    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.
