Recent downtime explanation and apologies

[MRangeM]

Wooooo

 

Oh, so where was the exploit exactly? In the servers or in the website itself? Was Sythe.org actually hacked?

We weren't hacked. I don't believe any of our data was compromised.

Out of sheer interest, is there any media coverage of the hack?

Don't think so, here's their message to customers: http://ramnode.com/solusvmexploit.html

It dropped a couple of my VPSes as well, some are back online but refusing to allocate PTY, not going to bother Nick with it until he gets the bulk of it figured out.

EDIT: Lost my 2012 award minirank, plz mr richard

Oh so you use Ramnode ? I absolutely love them, although I just got the message myself. Luckily, nothing is lost. I guess I can only be happy I use SSH keys to authenticate my sessions.

Let me know if you come across any bugs with the site over the next few days.

I don't know if it's just me, but I've been getting this message frequently:

Fatal error: Unable to connect to memcache server in /includes/class_datastore.php on line 283

Edit: and this:

vBulletin datastore error caused by one or more of the following:
You may have uploaded vBulletin 3.6 files without also running the vBulletin upgrade script. If you have not run the upgrade script, do so now.
The datastore cache may have been corrupted. Run Rebuild Bitfields from tools.php, which you can upload from the do_not_upload folder of the vBulletin package.

Fatal error: vBulletin datastore cache incomplete or corrupt in /includes/init.php on line 210

[Loyal 2 da game]

I don't know if it's just me, but I've been getting this message frequently:

Fatal error: Unable to connect to memcache server in /includes/class_datastore.php on line 283
