<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>It seems you all missed the memo.<BR>As of about 11PM PST Last night 09/22/08, Esthost has been ENTIRELY Shutdown. They no longer have ANY Machine on my network.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I'm currently starting to monitor some of the public media, such as google, DroneBL, as well as several Anti-Malware community websites for abuse.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Being that Esthost is now entirely GONE, we should not have any further issues.</P>
<P>In the case that something&nbsp;does arise, such as an exploited host, we're currently developing a game plan for&nbsp;response to&nbsp;the issues.</P>
<P>To make the best effort towards combatting&nbsp;abuse on our network, here's what I have planned so far for ANY Type of abuse:</P>
<P>Step 1,&nbsp;Suspend Power to the affected machine.</P>
<P>Step 2, Call/Email the client whom the affected machine is leased to.</P>
<P>Step 3, Allow the client&nbsp;the option to&nbsp;investigate the machine further (Nullroute access via KVM)</P>
<P>Step&nbsp;4, Verify the&nbsp;reported content, domain, user, or exploit&nbsp;is patched/eliminated from the machine.</P>
<P>Step 5,&nbsp;Remove the Nullroute. Allow the machine to return to the network.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Any comments? </P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>This is&nbsp;the result of a zero tolerance policy regarding abuse. If it's clear that the server owner is the cause of the abusive material etc, the client will then be immediately cancelled. No questions.&nbsp;</P>
