    Well, I noticed my post got moderated when I wasn’t able to reply to you, so here’s my reply :

    The very first Linux server I ever stood up got whacked. I got a nastygram from my host that he had shut it down because of malicious activity against other servers. So, from their standpoint, I can understand why.

    Yes, but they should warn before shutting down, give you at least a few hours to speak for yourself.

      IDK, if I were running the show, I’d probably have done the same thing especially when it started to involve other servers. I would assume that there would be some legal ramifications should it have just been ignored. It would have been good to observe to see if I could come up with who the puppeteer was, but I was super green then and probably wouldn’t have known where to start as far as forensics. I mean, if you get hacked, the knee jerk reaction is to pull the plug, but it would be more productive to do some forensics before killing the server.

        Yeah, I agree with ‘nuke first ask questions later’ when your compromised host is impacting other devices. If and only if i knew the attempts weren’t going anywhere or doing anything would I consider unicing the vm/container to see what happened.

          Now that I reflect on the embarrassment, it was a cheap, shared VPS and I’m pretty sure I was dogging the share. LOL Ahhhh…innocence. However, it was evident I needed some personal edification. Now, I am told, I over engineer security, but it works, so keep it the way it is.

      When you say moderated, do you mean a comment or did you do another post? if its a comment is that something your instance does? or did it just fail to send. you peaked my curiosity because I wasn’t aware of instances filtering comments, only posts.
