'No Support Linux Hosting' Shuts Down After Cyberattack

A web hosting company named No Support Linux Hosting announced today it was shutting down after a hacker breached its internal systems and compromised its entire operation. From a report: According to a message posted on its official site, the company said it was breached on Monday, February 8. The hacker appears to have "compromised" the company's entire operation, including its official website, admin section, and customer database. A No Support Linux Hosting (NSLH) spokesperson did not return a request for comment seeking details about the attack. But while details about the intrusion are unclear, the attack appears to have been destructive in its nature. "We can no longer operate the No Support Linux Hosting business," the company flatly acknowledged today. "All customers should immediately download backups of their websites and databases through cPanel," NSLH said, urging clients to do so before servers go down for good. At the time of writing, the nature of the NSLH attack is unclear, and we don't know if the hacker downloaded & wiped the company's database and backups or if we're talking about a classic ransomware attack where the intruder encrypted files and demanded a ransom for the decryption key.
