Dreamhost Hacked !!!

..at least their private servers.
official message:
Hey {my name}!

This is just a note to let you know that we've just moved your account to
a new server!

We apologize for the lack of notice, but this was an emergency move as a
perfomance and stability measure.

What does this mean to you? Hopefully nothing!

But, you may want to double check that all your websites and email
addresses are working.

If an email address isn't working, please make sure you're logging
in with the FULL EMAIL ADDRESS (and not something like m########). Also
make sure you're using mail.yourdomain.com for your mail servers, and
not anything with "dreamhost.com" in it!

If you had an email .procmail (filtering) or .forward (forwarding) file
that isn't working, you should be able to easily fix that up just using
our web panel's "Mail" section!


IMPORTANT:
If you are using your server name (server.dreamhost.com) as your FTP
hostname, be sure to change that to your domain name. The domain name
will always point to the correct server in the event that it is changed
in the future.


If a website isn't working, please make sure you don't have anything
like "/home/.SOMETHING/username" in a config file. Instead, it should
just be "/home/username".

If you run your own DNS, we can't make all the necessary changes for you,
so you're going to have to change it yourself right now!

That's it really.. and again, we really apologize for the abrupt nature
of this move! To try and make up for it a bit, we've also set your
account to now have unlimited disk and bandwidth, forever!

Thanks!
The Happy DreamHost Moving Team

If your site is hosted on the spacey cluster and is currently having problems, we are aware of these issues and should have it resolved shortly. We have more information regarding this outage at dreamhoststatus.com! (posted 2 days 9 hours ago)

ofcourse i couldn't find any of my blogs/files/sites on the ftp. all folders are empty, my business is down!

besides that just look what this moron write:
Hello,

I went ahead and corrected the issue. It appears that you removed the
unique IP from your domain and it was causing problems. However, when I
loaded the http://{my site}.com/ , there wasn't anything on it! Is this
an issue?

If you need anything else, experiencing any issues, or have any
questions, comments, or concerns please let me know!

Surely that is their fault? Have you looked through their terms and conditions? Make up some fake earnings pages with adsense or something and invoice them :p
 
yes, is their fault. yesterday they moved lots of sites on another server. when i email them some mails come back telling their mail server is overused.
and in my first post a copy pasted their welcome message in the control panel:

Man that really sucks... I can't think of much things worse - just before fucking chrismas! A good lesson to backup everything. Checking your account in the middle of the night and noticing something like happening would be damn harsh.
 
yes i don't have backups and i would like to switch the host but all my files are gone. that was a media site with over 3000 vids and pics.
