CERT-Bund has published an advisory on security vulnerabilities in BIND under WID-SEC-2026-2484. If you run your own nameserver, we'll show you in a few steps how to check version, exposure, and configuration.
Password login over SSH is the most common way outsiders become root. Generate a key pair, disable password login, change the port, and set up fail2ban – step by step, with the commands to follow along.
A parameter in the two-factor login flow made the password check fail entirely: in Proxmox VE 7, attackers could log in as root without any credentials. The flaw was fixed by accident in July 2023, but the fix was never backported to VE 7 — and it has been actively exploited since late August. Prepaid-Host is not affected.
Hypixel Studios publishes no official server requirements — the figures in the common guides are estimates. We run Hytale servers ourselves and lay out what they actually need, what the three approaches cost, and when each one pays off.
A BGP hijack took over Virtualizor's update channel. The attacker obtained a valid Let's Encrypt certificate and shipped a tampered package. Prepaid-Host is not affected — if you run Virtualizor yourself, you should act now.
An open RDP port 3389 on any public Windows server gets scanned and attacked within minutes. Here's how to properly secure access with a firewall rule, NLA, account lockout, and VPN – step by step, with PowerShell commands and a checklist.
How Let's Encrypt works under the hood, why the certificate on our web hosting renews itself automatically, and what to do when renewal fails: Port 80, DNS records, wildcards, reverse proxies.
On 1 August 2026 we're adjusting the prices of some older, RAM-heavy root server promo plans – for renewals only and no more than +35 %. Why RAM, NVMe and IPv4 became scarce at the same time – and what changes for you and what does not.
