Has nothing to do with global layer as we use global layer as a net route also.

A network cannot be the cause of security issues on a server side, so don't assume

Well if they have 2 days old day then you are quite lucky.
Take that data and be happy
Also it would rather be wise of you to have your own backups than counting on hosts.


Good Luck

You are right!
2 days of datalost is nothing compared with other shared hosts which offer support on wjunction.My site got deleted 2 times and the host have no backup,so mate you are a very lucky person.

That's what I thought until I signed up with them. With a fresh reinstall, check the logs and you'll see - had my server connecting to all nasty stuff. Of course you could always blame the client, but a fresh install?

Anyway its an altushost thread, I'm already off topic.

@masterb56,

You never signed up with us, that's a fact.
Who are you if I may know? You can PB me the info.

Its their 3rd serious security issue!

Don't forget that you should do your own backups (at least one backup per week), even in the most expensive companies, they never assume responsibility for lost data (read the tos).

GlobalLayer does have access to all their servers, incase you didn't know.

I thought this was going to happen. You can always tell when this well especially the way they handle things.
