The botnet that guesses passwords from Wordpress, Joomla and DLE has increased its power and attacked all hosters with renewed vigor. The consequences and comments of system administrators and webmasters can be observed here: http://forum.searchengines.ru/showthread.php?t=805626 At TCPHost everything is in normal mode, bots are cut off, admin panels are covered.

As we have already written, a botnet is raging all over the world, guessing passwords for sites on popular CMS: Wordpress, Joomla, DLE. All this started around the beginning of April 2013 (here, for example, news with a description) and has not stopped to this day. At first, we analyzed the logs, calculated the most active IP addresses and blocked them. Then they blocked access only to the admin login pages. Over the course of a month, we added about 7,500 IP addresses to the block list, while at the beginning of April there were more than 90,000 infected servers. In general, it’s a pursuit of yesterday that will never end.

On Saturday, June 1st, the tariff type has been changed: daily a small amount will be debited from the client’s personal account equal to the cost of the tariff plan and add-ons (if any) for one day. What is more convenient: - The client can order additional services or refuse them at any time without any complex recalculations of the paid period or payment of additional fees.

In recent months, we have encountered a powerful botnet that is brute-forcing (trying to guess) logins and passwords to the admin panels of Wordpress, Joomla and DLE. Requests come from different IP addresses, from different countries around the world, approximately 20-50 requests per second. All this activity threatens to hack our clients’ websites and creates (has already created) a significant load on the server.

We have decided to temporarily stop providing VDS. The partnership with firstvds.ru did not work out and turned out to be unprofitable. Not the best reputation, large overselling (selling resources beyond the actual capacity of the server), buggy billing, slow and negligent technical support - all this is firstvds.ru. Accordingly, our own reputation suffers because of a negligent partner. Old customers who ordered VDS will continue to work as usual. VDS, already its own, will definitely appear in the future. Stay tuned for more news.
