Staminus Communications Inc., a California-based Internet hosting provider that specializes in protecting customers from massive “distributed denial of service” (DDoS) attacks has itself apparently been massively hacked.
The compromised information included customer credentials, support tickets, credit card numbers, and other sensitive data.
Staminus technicians quickly mitigated the attacks and restored the website soon.
