HostEurope, a formerly European web and e-mail hosting provider acquired by GoDaddy in 2016, just informed its customers that it will move their IMAP folders and everything e-mail to Microsoft's MS365 offer.
This move does not only incur additional fees for many customers – it also raises privacy concerns.
We recommend you empty all of your IMAP folders now and move your e-mail (domains) to one of the trustworthy e-mail services listed here: https://switching.software/replace/gmail/
Trademarks used by HostEurope Group include 123-reg, Webfusion, Heart Internet, BrandFortress, Host Europe, Domainbox, Domainmonster, Domainfactory, DonHost, Sign-Up.to, velia.net and RedCoruna. Their users might also be affected.
PS: HostEurope has published the following FAQ:
@switchingsoftware
There might be an error on your website, it says
Failed Dependency (Error 424)
@schmidt_fu @switchingsoftware Getting the same.
Codeberg Pages seems to be in trouble: https://status.codeberg.eu/status/codeberg
Maybe another DDoS attack?
/cc @Codeberg
Our website seems to be back online.
@switchingsoftware @schmidt_fu @Codeberg Ah, it’s on Codeberg pages? Given posting a link on Mastodon can be considered a mini-DDoS attack in and of itself, I wonder if that was what did it?
We cannot rule out this possibility at the moment.
