Both managed to restore their services, albeit only after extended outages. Evernote and Feedly were each knocked down on June 10, reportedly by criminals trying to extort money. This isn’t the first such incident in recent weeks. The devastating incident began on June 17 when Code Spaces – a company that claimed to offer “Rock Solid, Secure and Affordable Svn Hosting, Git Hosting and Project Management” – became the target of a DDoS attack from an unknown party who demanded “a large fee” to make it stop. Source code hosting provider Code Spaces has suffered the ultimate cloud nightmare, having been effectively forced out of business by the actions of an attacker who managed to gain access to its Amazon EC2 control panel. This has rendered Code Spaces totally inoperable, and unfortunately it looks like they won’t be able to recover from this.
This time however, with Code Spaces – somehow the malicious parties got access to their Amazon console.which gave them access to delete everything, including snapshots and backups. It started off with a large scale DDoS attack (the likes of which Feedly and Evernote have also seen this month) – and in all cases the malicious parties have been asking for ransom money to stop the attacks.
Git/SVN & Project Management SaaS Code Spaces has been hacked and completely deleted by a hacker. There’s been a LOT of noise about this incident in the past day or two, the very definition of a cloud nightmare.
