Our new easy-to-use Email platform.

2009-07-01T13:31:00.000-07:00

We are pleased to introduce a brand new platform called Mail.pw.
Mail.pw is powered by infrastructure that boasts of high-end technology and hardware built to ensure optimum performance. We are proud to inform you that Dellos’s Email Hosting Product will now migrate to this new and powerful infrastructure!
To back this migration, we will be introducing a new easy-to-use Mail.pw interface on 2nd July, 2009. This interface will not just be easier to navigate and manage, but will also be intuitive, and a lot cleaner! Take a look at the following screenshot.

This move is indicative of an important phase in the revamp of our Hosting offering. Further details on the new architecture and features will follow in our future posts.

Update - Jul 2th, 12:00 hrs GMT

Please be informed that all new Email Hosting packages will now be deployed from the new Mail.pw infrastructure. Existing orders will, however, remain manageable through the older interface.

WinSCP is an open source free SFTP client and FTP client for Windows. Legacy SCP protocol is also supported. Its main function is safe copying of files between a local and a remote computer.

As of version 4.0, WinSCP supports three transfer protocols, SFTP, FTP and SCP. Currently, many servers support all three protocols. This document contains a comparison to help you to decide which is most appropriate for your needs. The comparison describes both features that are characteristic to the specific protocol as-is, and features that are caused by the implementation of the protocol in WinSCP.

The default mode of operation is to use SFTP and fall back to SCP. Select your preferred protocol on Login dialog.

FTP access for Linux Hosting Orders

Update - Jun 9th, 16:00 hrs GMT

The process of removing malicious content from every package as a result of the Gumblar attack is now complete.
FTP passwords across all Linux Hosting Packages have been reset. Click here to learn how you may reset the FTP password from your control panel.
Net2Ftp for all packages has been enabled so that you may start using the File Manager within your Control Panel to manage your website content. Click here to find out how you may do so.
Coming soon - More updates regarding the attack and the shift to Secure FTP
Several websites on our Linux Hosting Servers have flagged virus alerts. FTP logs from the infected packages indicate that the machines of the customers who own those domains are compromised and have been used to upload malicious content to their respective hosting packages.

This form of attack is commonly known as a Gumblar attack. As a precautionary measure, the FTP service for Linux Hosting packages has been temporarily disabled. As such, users will not be able to upload or manage files using FTP for now. We shall update once the services are enabled again.

Our apologies for the inconvenience. Meanwhile, you can find further details about this attack and the measures we are taking, on the Dellos blog - http://blog.dellos.com/2009/06/safeguarding-your-website-from-gumblar.html

Safeguarding your website from Gumblar Attacks

2009-06-09T01:42:00.000-07:00

Over the past few weeks, several websites hosted on our Linux Servers threw up virus alerts. Further investigation revealed that these alerts were triggered by an injection attack on packages hosted on our servers, commonly known as Gumblar Attacks. FTP logs of these infected packages indicated that machines of the customers who own those domains were compromised and had been used to upload malicious content to their respective Hosting Packages. A few pointers for your benefit:

What is a Gumblar Attack?

Gumblar appears to be a combination of exploit scripts and malware. The scripts are embedded in .html, .js and .php files using obfuscated Javascript. They load malware content from Third Party sites without the user’s knowledge, while also stealing FTP credentials from the victim’s computer, which then allows it to spread and infect additional sites. Therefore, when someone visits such an infected site they get infected; if they have FTP credentials for a website on their machine then those sites get infected too. This explains the exponential growth of the exploit in such a short space of time.

What makes it different from other Malware exploits?
There are a number of aspects to this exploit that not just help it spread, but also make it difficult to remove. Firstly, it infects users browsing legitimate websites; if these users are webmasters then it infects their websites by using their FTP credentials to inject the script into their site. The obfuscated malicious code being dynamically generated, makes it difficult to detect and difficult to automatically remove. Not only does the script vary from site to site, it can also vary from page to page on that the one site.

For a more detailed read, you can check out the following news article.

What steps have we taken?

As a precautionary measure, we have blocked FTP services on our Linux Hosting Servers. This will prevent infection of any other Hosting Package. We are in the process of removing malicious content from all those packages that was infected as a result of this. However if we re-establish FTP connections, your clients will re-infect their respective Hosting Packages since their machines are likely to be compromised.
We will be shifting to a Secure FTP connection and resetting everyone’s FTP passwords across all Linux Hosting packages. You can modify these passwords from your respective Control Panel at a later date. We strongly urge you warn your Customers about this worm and ask them to scan their machines given its exponential spread so far.
