Frankly, I don't buy this at all. It is very difficult in 2011 to provision a server that is really vulnerable by default.
I suspect that the person who posted this was in some other way compromised, and is blaming it on GoGrid.
- zorked 15y agoYup, the fact that he didn't share anything about how the server was hacked is a bit suspicious.
- jjwiseman 15y agoI don't know what happened in this case, but it doesn't seem very difficult: 1. Configure server to use password authentication and allow logins from anywhere. 2. Send password to user via unencrypted email. There's a reason that people are uncomfortable receiving passwords via email.

- grahammather 15y agoThis is exactly the kind of misinformation campaign that the real hacker would be waging! Blame the victim! I suspect it was ianhawes doing the hacking.
