Dear Customer,
You are receiving this letter because you either are a current or a past customer of HR Web Services (HostRocket.Com). The letter below details to you the specifics of the situation including what has happened, what is being done to remedy the situation and prevent its reoccurrence, and what you the customer need to do.
What Happened:
A security hole found in a 3rd party billing software package used by us to manage our customer billing which has had no known security holes until this date was exposed, and the possibility arose that this information may have found its way into the hands of people who should not have it, despite our use of both SSL and heavy encryption. We have no confirmation that this information is in the hands of anyone with any malicious intent towards our customers at this time, however the possibility may exist in the future. We cannot release the details of what program it was etc. yet as there are many other hosts out there that run the same software package who’s information will need to be protected as well.
What We Did:
Immediately upon the discovery of the intrusion we disabled the affected systems to prevent the possibility of further access. We then immediately contacted the credit card processing companies involved to make them aware of the possibility that the card info was compromised. They assured us that the card issuing banks would be notified immediately about the situation, and it will be up to their discretion whether or not there is a large enough threat posed by this to warrant canceling the cards and issuing replacements. They also reminded us to remind you the consumer that you are not and would not be responsible for any fraudulent transactions that might occur on your card in a worst-case scenario.
The details regarding this policy implemented by Visa are located at: http://www.usa.visa.com/personal/secure_with_visa/
The details regarding this policy implemented by MasterCard are located at: http://mastercard.com/general/zero_liability.html/
What We Are Doing Now:
The billing system was heavily modified to be more secure and moved to a new more secure server in a new physical location and locked down with no outside connection to the general Internet available for the affect backend system, which has also been completely recoded. Along with this, all account passwords have been changed and new passwords sent to all current HostRocket customers. Other security policy changes are as follows.
-3 digit confirmation code on the back signature panel of all cards to be submitted with new orders.
-All new orders to be confirmed by a live person on our staff before account activation.
-All telnet access to all hosting servers and requiring customers to use SSH (secure shell).
-IDS (intrusion detection systems) are being installed on all of our hosting servers.
These additional security measures are to help cut down on possible security breaches on other servers of ours in the future.
What You The Customer Should Do:
All affected customers should contact their credit card company to see if they feel that the card should be placed on hold. Check to make sure that you have received your new login and password information which should be coming shortly after this email, and that the login and password work for your account. If they do not work, please contact us for immediate resolution of any account access problems.
We at HostRocket apologize repeatedly for any and all inconvenience this will cause everyone involved. We have hired additional staff to help with the expected influx of support and to finish up our own in house billing system which we have coded from the ground up and know to be secure. We greatly appreciate your understanding and continued support, and look forward towards working both for and with you to improve our services to you and your websites alike during the coming years.
