A large hosting provider
3FN , which has proven itself to be of good quality services and has been well-supported on the forums lately, has been unavailable since yesterday evening.
Taking into account the number of people who transferred their main projects and sites to it, the drama reached its peak and high tension of passions during the night. For example,
here and
here.When by morning everyone was hopelessly starting to think about how to restore their sites on another hosting, they managed to get several hoster answers (spelling was preserved):
"There is a problem and it is quite serious, as ordered by the FTC
we were denied access to the network, and then physically to the equipment, we are already connecting lawyers to deal with this issue.
Understand because of whom this happened is not yet clear.
We cannot turn on main and spare routers because we are not allowed in there simply.
The problem began as a problem with the equipment network failed, after 20 minutes the power turned off.
Unfortunately, there is no other data. ”')
And a little later, an official statement appeared:
"Dear Sirs,
We will return the servers, we are in the worst situation in the wheel of the legal machine of the United States, working by its own rules. And this will have to be fought, but we really have already advanced in the matter.
There is no reason to doubt the safety of all data on all servers.
We are doing everything we can to quickly settle this most unpleasant incident. ”The provider promises to work within 24 hours, despite all the above problems.
Let me remind you that the Mac host had a similar problem when all sites were unavailable for 2 days, and the reason for this was just one news item on one of the sites that violated the rights of copyright holders. who did not abuzit, and immediately unsubscribed to the data center with the requirement to disable the server.
We follow the development of events.
PS By the way,
Botmaster is also hosted on 3FN, as a result of which the most popular spamming on forums and blogs
(Hrumer) now does not work for many spammers.
