>>NaviSite Suffers Weekend Outage

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Over the past weekend NaviSite (www.navisite.com) was the target of hackers, leading some servers to face as many as eight hours of downtime beginning Friday night, and their negligence to respond to the threats caused additional downtime, according to customer reports.

Paul Schoolfield, a partner at ITX Design (www.itxdesign.com), a web hosting provider based in Fredericksburg, Virginia said NaviSite's support team ignored customers for about 48 hours until Sunday night, when they were forced to shutdown SSH access across the entire network for more than 24 hours to address the vulnerability.

NaviSite had not responded to email or voice messages by the time of this article's publication.
