Computermix, Ipquarx, and Cca - CBM being hacked into to steal keys [chat+pics]

[-Setro-]

why would anyone need my key anyways
just a waste of time. we can all agree im hated, and if they use my key, they wont have a good time because of that.

Well if you are going to host for people.there shoud be an additional set up fee of 10 bucks so the host can buy YOU a key needed for your server.

Duh...

Duh...

then the host can still get free admin on your servers

That's actually a really good idea.

why not just buy the alt yourself and use that to sign up for the service

That would work just as well, sure, but apparently nobody had the foresight to do that.

well nobody saw this coming

[Kishgal]

Uh, no, a lot people saw this coming, abstractly anyway.

the point is that you dont own the key and its not yours.
you are paying for hosting, in theory its not even your server anyways, regardless of what key is used.
at least this way, there can be no issues regarding stolen keys, ad your own key is never used.

[Bisjac]

thats how all hosts should have been from the beginning.
the owner can just have a lot of keys that are used for hosting servers for people. and they would be renamed as needed.
when someone drops the service, that kley would go back in the pool foir the hoster to reuse on a new person.

the renter never needs to see or have the key.
there is ZERO reason to use your own keys to use a hosting service. and there is ZERO reason to need to know the key that you are renting.

I'm suprised it's only now I've heard this idea on the table, because it's a pretty brilliant one.

[Compy]

thats an insanely smart idea. bisjac for president

I was actually going to ask cowboy to buy a key and use it for my server if I gave him the money for it a while back, so I guess you can say the idea has come to mind.
