Still nothing other than canned responses from them this morning:

"We are doing our best to restore as fast a possible"

"We are creating processes to streamline reinstalls/backup restores"


:Oh crap

yep traffic to my legal tubes went up, sales are the same.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

However, I still feel for the legit people hosting with them, such as vidz.com or RevengeBucks. Good luck getting your sites up again asap - I still remember how I felt when I had a day downtime about a year ago.

this is ridiculous

rcn will send out official mail soon, they said

new update:

damn i hope they keep their employees happier from now on, throw a bigger xmas party or something.

Wonder what the rogue employee was mad about.

Well, maybe there were just a few people, not liking some of the sites hosted at RCN that much, who made him an offer he couldn't refuse :2 cents:

maybe it's just a lame excuse, you'll never know if it was really an ex-employee

I hope this ex-employee gets put in jail for a long time

good news :) hopefully the tubes like xnxx etc dont have any backups , look at your stats yesterday and today :) fucking unbelievable . i saw the same numbers about a year ago . thats perfect , the guy who made it is a REAL MAN.

seems like a lot of increased sales reports ...

I don't see what's all the fuss is about. The few tubes that went down don't even hold the top google positions.

Why don't you bitch about pornhub.com, redtube.com, youporn.com, tube8.com? These are the biggest and hold top 10 google spots.

Hopefully will be shut down soon too

Maybe it's time to start looking for a rogue ex employee at their hosting?

If xnxx or xvideos went down surfers know there are 10 other tubes to visit. I wouldn't look to deep into this.

i wouldnt hold the breath..

Most people I know are unaware of tubes, until I show them whats available for free. And xvideos was the #55 site in the world, and accounts for 1.5% of all internet traffic. I'm not sure what percentage of all internet traffic is porn related, but if we imagine it's 20% then xvideos would account for 7.5% or all porn traffic. That in itself is a sizeable amount of surfers who are forced to go back to the search engines looking for porn, if they don't know of any other tubes - which is bound to impact sales (especially if you rate highly for some good keywords)

I never tire of the simple irony that usually comes from "your an idiot" posts. :1orglaugh

Seriously...I hope they say who it is so we can personally sue him.

could it be this kid?

I don't know if it related to this but the traffic to my sites has increased a lot in these past two days.

hope there is an update soon...

please post if your server has been fully restored...thanks!

Interesting,apparently 4chan competitor is hosting as well there.

hahahha
someone called him out on it, now he might have too.

50 hacked servers

how about 150?

hxxp://torrentfreak.com/major-torrent-sites-go-down-after-attack-on-hosting-provider-101017/

just saying. why host with someone in bed with the enemy?

So they host legit adult sites/programs and the very torrents/tubes that steal from them... the good, the bad and the ugly.

To add insult to injury, RCN have current back ups of our site (as well as everyone else on their network) available to them, yet requests to do a server copy of our backup to our new server have gone ignored. Every hour is costing us a lot of money and I can not tell you how frustrating this is for me as a long-term, loyal customer.

This leads me to wonder one of two questions.

1/ Did their backup servers with our sites data get hosed as well? It would make sense considering the length of time it is taking them to bring sites back, in fact can anyone clarify if their server has been brought back up yet? I would assume that their site (http://www.realitychecknetwork.com/) would have been one of the first they would bring back online. Are they spending all this time doing data-recovery on hard drives?

2/ Assuming they do have all our backups, why would they not quickly try to rectify this by ftp'ing the files we need to our new server so we can be back in business?

Disclaimer: I have been a loyal customer of RCN and have almost never been disappointed by their service, but their damage control response to this incident looks like it is going to put a lot of us out of business.

Unfortunately it seems those of us that have jumped and reacted by purchasing a new server on another network to migrate to are not getting the support we require.

i know it sucks to hear this but people leaving will probably be put at the end of the support que.

FUCK THIS!

PS Anyone whos gonna blast me for this, GO FUCK YOURSELF IN ADVANCE!

My message is sincere!

So my site will never be safe cause of possible ex employees taking down my site? I am done with this company forever. I paid a premium for 4 years cause i thought they had redundancy which is bullshit. Offsite admins are rediculous anyways.

sounds like a joke, get out of here moron.

Im a joke for trying to help people that are in a crisis right?

Like I said, GO FUCK YOURSELF!


Whatever!
