LowEnd provider Clouvider suffered a website hack today. A group styling itself “Katyusha SecurityExploitCrew” defaced a website they manage, as reported on LowEndTalk.
The site was a redirect to their main web site and no customer data was compromised.
Clouvider posted the following statement:
“At approximately 20:30 today (UK/London Time) we were made aware that one of our websites had been defaced, we are still currently investigating this and will release a full statement when we have concluded our investigations.
We would like to assure you that the targeted website clouvider.net holds no Customer data, it was simply a redirect to clouvider.co.uk with a minimal file structure and has no other function or access to any other services.
All of the subdomains for clouvider.net that are connected with functional internal infrastructure servers are completely separate and in no way impacted by this.
A more detailed statement will follow at the appropriate time.”

That’s unfortunate news for Clouvider. Website hacks can be a real headache. Good to hear no customer data was compromised, though. Reminds me of the frustration of losing a long game, similar to when my high score in the Google Snake gets wiped out. Hopefully, they’ll get everything back up and running smoothly soon.
Raindog308’s blend of vintage and modern tech expertise is truly impressive. His experience with everything from mainframes to PostgreSQL shows how broad and deep his knowledge is. It’s refreshing to see someone so passionate about both complex systems and seemingly simple joys like target shooting—reminds me of the precision needed in games like Funny Shooter 2. Looking forward to more insights that help both newbies and pros alike!
