  • I had the EXACT same thing happen to my server at the same time. From my brief googling it looks somewhat similar to a shellshock attack. Make sure your system is patched. If anyone has any further info, it would be appreciated.

    The real question is: If you have no experience, why not use a regular shared hosting plan?

  • The same IP was found attempting to hack into our systems but in a somewhat different way. We've blacklisted them and contacted their host. Over the last 5 days or so it looks like there has been some other reports on that IP.

  • iWeb hosting service out of Quebec, Canada. Whole netblock of addresses assigned to a datacenter to block if they decide to change it. It's like blocking an attack generated out of an Amazon Web Services EC2 VPS. Commented Aug 30, 2015 at 5:10
