In the eyes of BlueHost, it seems I rolled out of bed today and decided to go phishing. So they deactivated my other site. No matter that I contacted them yesterday specifically to tell them that I’d just learned from Google that my site had been hacked and was hosting phishing scripts (thank you Google) .
PayPal/eBay nicely, seems to have chosen to approach this from the ‘benefit of the doubt’ POV. I’m definitely more impressed with the proactive eBay approach, than the ‘blame the hacked’ BlueHost approach. Seriously, whose servers are they?
Luckily, it’s not as though the site was setting the e-commerce world on fire, a gap in service might go somewhat unnoticed.
Seems I’m not alone, TG Daily reported on large-scale PHP hack-attacks at Go Daddy, BlueHost and others, back in May.
