SoapBlox Servers Hacked
JournalSpace was not the only small blogging operation to be compromised by hackers this January. Political blogging platform SoapBlox was broken into by hackers and as a result services were taken off line.
Hackers were able to "acquire SSH access" according to the SoapBlox press release. I'll translate that for the non-technical readers out there: the hackers had access to do pretty darn much anything they wanted from these compromised machines. It turns out that they were using the SoapBlox servers to search for and exploit vulnerabilities in other servers across the internet.
To what end? Who knows. Spam perhaps? Political vendetta? Curiosity? Nobody knows. But what we do know is that those servers not not quite so safe as we once had happily assumed.
The silver lining is that it is easy and safe to backup your data without risking attack by hackers. If your provider gets compromised, you'll have a clean copy of your data and only your data that you can move to another blogging platform. Stay tuned for more information on BackupMy.Net's upcoming backup products.
