Not sure if this is the place to ask this but when we first signed up with Mindraven a year ago, it, along with UBB was owned by Rick B, correct? I bought domain name hosting, and UBB from Rick, one stop-shopping. Now Mindraven is owned elsewhere as we all aware. Who now owns UBB? Unfortunately we just renewed our domain name and hosting with MindRaven. I'm wondering if it's soon enough we can have that stopped through the credit card company and move our forums & websites elsewhere. But I don't even know who owns UBB now. If I were going to try this I'd need help. I can move my other websites but I don't know how to move the forum.. presumably it's not much different. Anyone care to discuss this with me while our sites are down? Rick split Mindraven into 3 areas, Hosting, Dedicated Servers, and the UBB; he sold the UBB to UBBSystems, Mindraven he sold elsewhere, and he retains the dedicated server customers. UBBSystems offers hosting under "Express Hosting". It'd seem that Mindraven has issue after issue after the move... Keeping a server secure and up to date isn't rocket science, utilities on the server such as "yum" make running updates on a server fairly painless.

..so a hack into WHMCS causes all the managed sites to go down???
And Israel G, are you in Quebec? The websites have not been down but simply suspended. In WHMCS there are several modules which sends queries directly to the server, including a suspension module. The hacker has simply used this flaw in WHMCS to run the module suspension on all accounts on the server and then change the page of his suspension. Fortunately for us, no sites have been damaged. The hacker has just executed a command line that suspended all server accounts. Yes i live in the state of Quebec, more precise at Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. I can't speak for mindraven. But if it were me and I was hacked as a hosting service I would shut everything down till I found a resolution. Being concerned that it may impact all of my customers. Would not you! Turn off the server is not always the best thing to do in this case.. After receiving the alert, it took only 20 minutes to realize that the hack was passing by the user WHMCS on our server so we systematically remove all the access to this account. For the rest, we needed about 1 hour to un-suspend all accounts on the server. I prefer that your sites remain active and you know what's going on than simply shut down the server and give you no news. Israel Gaudette Mindraven.com

Folks. (ahdratlk, please to not take offense. Your posting is just the proverbial "straw".) This is NOT the place to discuss issues with your hosting company. Please... Enough talk of troubles with your host in these forums. These forums are to discuss topics related to the product UBB Threads. The place to bring up host troubles is on their support forums (if they have them), or through their customer support (if they have that). Seemingly, some do not. If I have trouble with my host, I do not post about it here. I bring it up with my host. What does anyone expect this community to do for them? Considering the issues so many are experiencing with the host in question, it is a total wonder to me that anyone is still with them. Write off the loss and move on. I cannot tell "UBBSystems" how to moderate their forums, but I'd of been deleting these topics on sight long ago. For me? I am waiting for the promised (or at least alluded to  ) St.Valentine's Day Massacre beta release.
