Pulsed Media hacked

[jalaffa]

My seedbox provider was hacked. Can't access it now.

From their homepage

Please note that this happened because of a gruntled ex-employee. All his access was revoked late last week, but he apparently had a private copy of a server password database for bulk of Seedbox servers. His online access had already been revoked to this said database.

As far as we can tell by logs and crawling through data on the servers only action taken is to change password on bulk of servers, and a few has been noted that "rm -rf /" was executed. This ex-employee has been noted to be bragging about this action in several forums.

Lesson learned, in future no employee shall be granted full server access unless a special case warrants it, and only in a way access can be revoked quickly. Personally, i implicitly trusted this person and have known him for roughly 11years so i was fully expecting that professionally we can part our ways gracefully.

Sorry for all the inconvenience caused,

Really - it was you causing this Thelen. Pretty bad behaviour.

Yes really. We can debate ethics in another thread or PM. Considering this has prompted certain changes to how their system works' date=' I'd actually warrant I helped them more than harmed. Upgrading to the most recent ruTorrent (3.3 vs 3.1) was supposed to happen months ago :/[/quote']

"rm -rf /" ahahahahhaahahhahahaaa. Takes me back. I remember the days of hacking with Linux but I think the command I used was "rm -rf /*" to destroy everything, lol. good times good times.
