News broke on Christmas Eve that HostSolutions.ro has been hacked. Community member @MikaelStrang posted the email below that he received from a hacker claiming to have the HostSolutions WHMCS database.
“Sadly you have used hostsolutions.ro before, and they were recently hacked about a month ago. We stole their database and all of their backups. We also deleted all backups we could. Enjoy!”
Strangely, the email makes no cryptocurrencies or ransomware demands.
HostSolutions melted down earlier this year in the Great Involucration. Unfortunately, Marius (the owner) appears to have dropped out of site and we have not seen an update from HS in many months.

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

Thank you for sharing. Now I know what Black Friday is. Before that, I just heard people passing that sentence to each other. Wonderful!
How did the investigation into the cause of this attack go? does it play out the same way as Geometry Dash Scratch ?
