Yeah you're lying. There's no ongoing investigation with AKSAG, they don't have a caselog for you in Cybercrimes, because you were never hacked. You were messaged repeatedly by a security vulnerability reporter, you broke something, and tried to pin your incompetence on her.

You run production websites on 20 year old hardware? That's more of a concern to me than your alleged DDoS. No consumer should trust these people.
We're not a for-profit company and we're run 100% by volunteers from the fandom. Sometimes 20-year old gear is all you can afford.

You can get a much newer Proliant DL380 G8 for a couple of hundred bucks. I run so much stuff on a pair of those it's unreal.

How many amps do they consume, our of curiosity? Power is our biggest limitation. We bought a bunch of new ULP 1Us for our new rack to host the new site we've been working on. 10U of servers (48 cores) only using 3.5A of power.
-
how do you have 48 cores in 10 servers, unless they're different configs? Anyway, I just asked my nearest UPS, and it says my DL380 G6s are pulling about 2.2a @ 117v for 24 cores between 2 physical servers. (I feel like a lot of that is the 16 10k disks)
-
8 machines are 4-core appservers/fileservers and the other 2 are 8-core database servers (master/slave). So yeah, different configs. Each 1U is purpose-built.
-
A quick eBay search turns up a 32 core DL580 G7 with 128 GB RAM for $400, so don't let the "hardware's expensive" deter you.
-
Power's the main concern, like I said. We used to run on a pair of retired Dell PowerEdge machines but they were each sucking up around 4 Amps each. Of course, 8-disk SCSI array and double redundant P/S can do that...
-
If power is a concern why haven't you moved to more recent more efficient servers? Theres gotta be a point where the power savings justifies the cost of new machines.
-
We did for the new site. As stated in another thread recently, we have built 10 brand new modern ULP servers to host the new site. Combined they cruise at 2.5A at low load and max out at under 4A at full load. It's the old servers that have been sucking down all our juice.

If that's all you can afford, you have no business storing personal data. Especially not the vast amounts that your business processes.
-
Not that vast, honestly. Our full database backup is only 3.5 GB before compression. In normal business use we typically work with 500+GB databases, more than a hundred times that size. FurBuy is a small community system, calling it a business is an over-reach.

A system which processes sensitive financial information IS a business. If you don't see it that way, perhaps you need to be OUT OF BUSINESS.
-
We don't process any financial information. None. We don't store credit card info, heck we don't even store Paypal addresses (tho the new site will).
-
You store visas and passports apparently. As images. WTF? You had an entire .git directory exposed to the world. Do your users a favor, cease operations and quit attacking the researcher who tried to help your pathetic fly-by-night operations.
