Yesterday, it was posted here on HN about a mass attack on Bluehost that even affected their CEO blog.
Attacks like this happen (Bluehost is a victim too) and we tried to alert them and help users fix their sites.
Well, today we found out that they were lying to their customers about this breach saying that it was an isolated incident and that it was the users fault. They even said that our article was a big lie.
As we tried to alert them about this issue, they banned us from their forum and even accused us os lying, not being honest, etc.
Very bad way for Bluehost to deal with a security breach and a security company trying to help.
