Cybercriminals often attack websites to extort ransom from their victims, but the recent cyber-tack against web hosting company No Support Linux Hosting has taken a different turn.

After a hacker managed to breach the company’s internal systems and compromise its entire operation, No Support Linux Hosting has announced that it is shutting down. The company alerted its customers to the situation before shutting down its website in a message, which reads:

“On February 8, 2021, a hacker successfully compromised all the servers we use to operate our business including the No Support Linux Hosting web site, Admin section, and our customer database. We can no longer operate the No Support Linux Hosting business.”

Any support Linux hosting then prompted users to download backups of their websites and databases via cPanel. At the moment, though, it’s not yet clear if the company decided to shut down after deleting its databases and backups, or if it was hit with a ransom and was unable to meet the attacker’s claims.
