http://www.hostingcontroller.com pop up request password.

Today we have visited their site more than 8 hours, same result.

Finally, HC has hacked. Their software, Hosting Controller has a lot of security problem.

One of our server using HC hacked a lot of times and very upset with them.

Now, HC has hacked and let them feel what their customers feel that hacked because Hosting COntroller.

I tried accessing, can access the page but it does prompt out a username and password dialog, just pressing ESC clears it.

Their forum seems to be down though. Maybe they were doing some maintenance?

Are you sure it was "hacked" though the control panel and not just bad security policies on the server?

I hear about "security bugs" with Hosting Controller all the time but I really wonder if the hackers really exploit Hosting Controller or the weak server security. :confused:

I have dealt with so many web hosting companies and mostly I see people in this hi-tech business without required busiess knowledge. People always look for excuses and I have seen so many times that hosting controller is used as an excuse to hide own incompetencies.

My two cents ;)
