So... why did nobody head my warning and patching explanation thread?

Second, you posted an hour or two after the Hosting Sec List did, and they posted 12 or so hours after it was already known.
Surprisingly enough, LowEndTalk isn't the 'go to' for security updates for sys admins.
Of course not, I simply provided actual "how to fix" on top of the original release, I don't claim to be the first to report.
i test my servers and none where accesible, so thanks for your thread
It appears this affected SemoWeb as well (not sure if they are under the same umbrella company), based on an email they sent out today.
Jesus Christ, did these geniuses have their IPMI interfaces on public IPs?
It would certainly appear so.
I'm hoping against hope their system admins are not that grossly incompetent and someone got access to a VPN or something . . .
If they did use public IPs, I would advise anyone with services with them to run and run as fast as you can . . . I can only imagine what sort of other utterly stupid system and network management practices they embrace . . .
No idea to be honest I stopped using them a while ago. I am sure that Randal is no longer with them and he seemed at least the most competent.
Well props to them for honesty at least. Those willing to admit their mistakes are far more likely to learn from them in my experience.
You're always so optimistic
stopped using them after 1 week purchase half year ago.
