There’s an interesting discussion on hacking going on over at LinuxForums. A poster from Fullerton, California who uses Suse Linux says he’s been the target of hackers hired by a world wide multi-million dollar company after a Wikipedia slip exposed his IP address, among other things. He wants to know, in short, if his system has been hacked. The conclusion of the story is, he probably wasn’t. But it’s an interesting security issue that we’ve all got to be careful of.
ServerPronto’s Managed Firewall service eliminates the need to run to open source chat boards wondering if you’ve been hacked or if your hard disk is just corrupted. ServerPronto’s Basic Firewall service places you behind a fault tolerant pair of Cisco PIX 515 with 64MB of memory running Cisco Secure Software. Each server protected by the shared firewall will be in a shared VLAN with the other servers being protected.
So the world’s most affordable dedicated server is also security-minded. Click here to learn more about the myriad of options you get when you order your dedicated server from ServerPronto.
