I was also tremendously happy with DO and their service. But what if you get your production apps down without even any notification and proper reasoning ? That's the thing which makes you feel insecure.
- nav1 13y agoThey did notify you. >Our monitoring picked up a malicious UDP traffic pattern on 2013-09-08 00:58:23. A ticket was then opened with the customer at : 2013-09-08 01:05:55 roughly 7 minutes later. Also, you should do a better job securing your server. It seems like the server was compromised.
- anotherbadlogin 13y agoThat statement doesn't say that they notified the customer of the problem. Unless the notification to the customer said "malicious UDP pattern", the customer wasn't notified.
- chc 13y agoI'm sympathetic to your frustration — but when your box is owned and actively participating in illegal activity, you kind of have to expect it to get shut down.
- veemjeem 13y agoIf you have a production app, it would make sense for you implement HA, then you wouldn't have to worry about a single server getting hacked. What proper reasoning do you need? If your server is hacked, it makes sense to shutdown the server, or disconnect it from the network completely. You can extract the data at a later time. What if your server was hacked, then started serving up child porn? Would you be okay with having the server continue running?
