Layered Tech hosted sites at risk

19 September 2007 No Comment

Everyone hosted on Layered Tech’s network, you better rush to your site / server and change your root password! According to this post by LayeredTech president, Todd Abrams, “the support database was a target of malicious activity on the evening of 9/17/2007 that may have involved the illegal downloading of information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and server login details for 5 to 6,000 of our clients.”

I am not sure all clients hosted on their network are following their blog, where they post every downtime, maintenance, news, etc. I have received the information from my reseller only after I asked them if we were at risk. Lucky I was subscribed to their blog.
