>>Alabanza Reports Exaggerated

A customer report claiming that web host NaviSite's (www.navisite.com) affiliate Alabanza (www.alabanza.com) was the targets of a hacking attempt Friday night was greatly exaggerated, representatives from the company told the WHIR.

NaviSite says Schoolfield’s claims are untrue, however, and that fewer than seven servers were affected by the incident, which was handled quickly by the company. On Sunday evening, NaviSite shut down SSH access temporarily in order to address the vulnerability.

“NaviSite’s Alabanza teams followed industry best practices regarding security and customer communications,” said senior vice president Sumeet Sabharwall in a statement.
