Data retention – judgment of the eu Court of Justice

Yesterday, the European Court of Justice had to rule on the storage of data and, in the rough, declared the storage of data to be inadmissible for no important reason!

Important reasons for the obligation to store data, but this would have to be limited in time:- A

cute threat to national security or the
fight against serious crime

The EU Court of Justice makes it clear that the data must NOT be stored nationwide and without cause! However, in special cases, data retention is permitted, e.g.

  • if there is a threat to national security – e.g. terror
  • limited to specific places and persons
  • IP addresses (sender)

In our opinion: This c
an therefore be used to oblige you to store IP addresses in principle, but the assignment to persons with dynamic addresses should not be stored, unless there are already orders on the basis of proceedings against persons or because national security is endangered!

But it also shows that IPs as such are probably not covered by data protection, otherwise the GH would not have allowed this exception in principle! It could therefore be that the legislators will demand that, in principle, everything with IP must be recorded over a long period of time!



BREXIT – UK no RIGHT on EU domains

EU domains and Brexit

BREXIT – According to the latest information from the EU Registry (EURid) from 09. September 2019, UK companies and UK private individuals no longer have the right to EU domains and can no longer register new EU domains and for existing ones, the domain resolution (domain – DNS) will be published no later than 1 January. January 2020 and was discontinued on 1 January 2020. November 2020 cancelled / deleted!

If you have registered an EU domain as a citizen/company with a country code GB or GI, you can however contact the 1st November 2019, the BREXIT date without a deal, transfer his domain to another owner who is based in one of the 27 EU countries or is an EU citizen and is allowed to reside anywhere in the world!

It is also possible to: to apply for a trustee with the perception and management of its domains! Cu

stomers from GB/GI are automatically contacted by the registry so that they can take care of the timely adjustments! IMPORTANT: If

you as a GB/GI citizen/company do not take care of the timely conversion /transfer, you have to reckon with the loss of his domain, because he has from the 1st. January 2020 no longer has the right to own an EU domain!

Security for servers and network via anti-attacks

bye bye cpanel

cpanel-login

The new price model of cPanel with price increases of 236% up to 657% and more, with an announcement time of just under 1 month is so arrogant and impudent that our consequence is the result and we said bye bye cPanel

For many years we have offered cPanel webspaces and cPanel licenses as well as pre-built servers with cPanel. We used cPanel as a reliable web interface for controlling virtual hosts and so-called webspaces! However, cPanel has also come of age and unfortunately has not added much new, which other web interfaces like Plesk offer today to a much larger extent!

The web interface of cPanel sleeps on the development of 20 years ago. So the menu guide is bloated and dozens of functions seem to be available several times, as was so common with old monochrome menus, e.g. in WHM:

Create Account
List Accounts
Manage Accouns
Rearange an Accout
List suspended Accouts
Show Accounts over Quota
Show Bandwith Usages

cPanel has few functions, but many menu points. Plesk, on the other hand, has built in a lot of functions that still need to be searched under cPanel or purchased separately, such as the auto-installer!

Our shared hosting server with cPanel ran for many years very stable, but also Plesk servers run super-stable today and so we will move all customers who are still hosted on cPanel to Plesk very quickly. Corresponding mails are sent out to customers at short notice.

Unfortunately, our wholesaler for cPanel licenses did not give us an inconspicuous email until August about the upcoming price increase to 01.09. Informed. This mail has unfortunately gone down as a standard advertisement with us and we were awakened with horror when we received the monthly bill a few days ago, which actually increased in the purchase prices by 236%! We wrote to our distributor, who then replied patty that he had announced the prices in good time.

Well, if he thinks < 1 month would be on time? We have concluded some annual contracts with customers, which we can’t change either, as this is normal and therefore such a short price increase is cheeky and arrogant and as a result we decided to kick cPanel out of our offer with immediate effect! We can switch to Plesk without any problems, without our customers having to suffer a loss, but we get a gain in performance features that cPanel does not offer!

So we said only a little bit sorry “bye bye cPanel”

CAUTION: Kaspersky enables tracking (Super-COOKIE)

Kaspersky - Security may be under threat - WARNING - Tracking across all pages even in secret mode

For many years we have recommended Kaspersky as the best protection of your computer! Unfortunately, we have to withdraw this recommendation completely due to this intentionally or at least grossly negligently built-in safety leak!

UNIDENTIFIED: KASPERSKY modifies the received HTML/JAVASCRIPT code of ALL web pages, also in “secret mode” and adds its own code, but with a UNIQUE ID of your computer! Because this unique ID was assigned only once to identify exactly your computer, ALL website providers who have designed to read this ID could track it completely, so uniquely identify (person-accurate)! This is or was possible on websites where you have specifically prohibited tracking or on websites that you have accessed in the Icognito or secret page area of the browser and this is not only limited to one browser, but to all! Yes, even across VPN! This ID corresponds to a super cookie!

Also the deletion of cookies etc. did nothing at all, because the ID always remained the same! Whether users moved to sites in secret mode or established secret connections to special company computers, all could be tracked via this ID, even when transmitted via VPN!

In principle, KASPERSKY has data protection (GDPR) etc. completely eliminated with this programming and made users trackable across all borders, whether consciously or unconsciously!

Kaspersky has already hit the headlines many times with speculation that they may be able to do so. the Russian secret service. So far, however, all rumours have always been dismissed and espionage towards Russia has not yet been proved! But why Kaspersky has built in a code here, with a unique ID that allows tracking across the board, is either deliberate or extremely grossly negligent and stupid than the police allow! In any case, K
aspersky wanted to recognize for itself who the user of the unique ID is, just as Kaspersky would have wanted to explain itself (statement CT)! And from our point of view, this is already a sufficient violation of the GDPR, as Kaspersky’s callers/users have not been informed!

This data leak was published in the registry for vulnerable software at CVE-2019-8286 and a corresponding warning from the BSI was also issued!

One of the last updates changed the behavior that a code is still being injected into the web pages, but this is now with the same ID (FD126C42-EBFA-4E12-B309-BB3FDD723AC1) that prevents tracking! Nevertheless, the installation of scripts that change the original websites is already in our opinion to be considered very problematic, especially for website developers in trouble

shooting! In principle, Kaspersky is involved in the protected traffic of HTTPS and changed the transmitted data, which often ended a problem with the certificates and ad errors. That’s what you call “Man in the Middle”! This should serve security here! Kaspersky is supposed to monitor traffic and provide protection here, but we have to consider the change of this data to be very dubious and we should not allow this under any circumstances!

We also show all website providers that we use Kaspersky ourselves, which makes us vulnerable, namely to target an attack precisely on Kaspersky’s software and that this is possible, we have already learned in the past, e.g. automatic scripts in Office files for MS Office packages, etc. smuggled in!

There is a workaround, (you will find a link here later – so come back in 2-3 hours) to prevent this change in the code of the received websites. Whether this is the ideal method or it is even better to uninstall Kaspersky completely and to refrain from using it in the future, remains to be seen! Many specialists claim that the security software (Windows Defender) built into By Microsoft from Windows 10 is already so secure that the use of installed software solutions can no longer provide additional security and the operation of the computer is more likely to be makes you more insecure!

But we are also aware that Microsoft has installed so many backdoors for many years and the NSA etc. also tricked so much about it, which could also be attacked and where customers who had used Kaspersky were better protected! It has not yet been proven that Kaspersky products have seriously stolen data! But allowing tracking in this way was a violation of the privacy policy and should be condemned as such. From our side, Kaspersky has lost a lot of trust and therefore we can no longer recommend the use! Whether you want to uninstall it or still use it as additional protection, you really should consider! But at least you should use the described workaround and prevent the change of the website code!

New Debian version 10.0 on servers

Debian 10
Debian 10

You can now order your new servers with Debian 10.0 code name Buster. The virtual servers (vServers) are usually deployed within a few minutes and are ready for you immediately! The maintenance period for new Debian versions is 5 years, so customers can plan and develop their new projects for long time!

Debian is the oldest, most influential and most widely used Linux distribution in the world! Debian is considered very stable and secure and is therefore often used as a basis for various subsystems and virtualization platforms!

Debian Buster (Debian 10) provides the following desktop environments for graphical desktop applications:

Cinnamon
GNOME
KDE Plasma
LXDE
LXQt

Xfce

For security reasons we separate ourselves from Cloudflare

Unfortunately we have to end the partnership with Cloudflare for security reasons! We have tried several times to point the technical developers to these problems over 3 months with many mails and harvested as a last statement get (automatic translated):

The only problem is partial setups that we have never claimed to be safe. Partial setups allow hosting partners like you to easily integrate our service by Cloudflare the traffic for sub-domains (!) via CNAME, which allows your customers to use our CDN and the associated benefits such as improved loading times and reduced traffic.

This means, in reverse, that the promise that the Plesk plug-in for Cloudflare is claimed does not provide any security, unlike what is promised in the description of the plugin! On the contrary, hosters live very dangerously when they use this plugin!

The so-called “server-shield” that sounds from the n Continue reading For security reasons we separate ourselves from Cloudflare

Now live-CA. 1 hour before rocket start to the ISS

Today, the 06.06.2018 launches the rocket, replete with the latest information technologies and the German team chief Alexander Barley and his Russian and American colleagues on the ISS. The start should take place at 13:12 p.m. (European Summer Time Berlin, Madrid, Paris)! We push the thumbs that the start and the journey, which by the way should take 48 hours to reach the speed of over 20,000 km/h in order to be able to dock on the ISS, succeeds!

You have been able to experience the preparations and then later the start with N24 Live at 12:00 am!

The new crew, which flies to the ISS, will then carry out various experiments on the ISS for six months, which are very important for our secular research and economy!

GDPR-Obligations for website operators

All Web site operators must urgently check whether they need to include an explanation regarding the privacy policy according to the new GDPR in their websites or to amend existing regulations!

All companies that work with customer data and/or where customer data is stored on their web pages and it does not matter whether it is a blog or a forum where customers e.g. Can enter or register as a customer etc., must create a privacy statement after the new GDPR, even if the company headquarters is outside Europe, but addresses customers who live in the EU!

Thus, 95% of all websites are to be examined and adapted to these data protection regulations, because otherwise web site operators threaten not only high fines by public authorities (up to 20 million euros or 4% of the annual turnover), but also warnings with high costs, which Be sent by lawyers today! On radio and television, we are already warned against avalanches of warnings, because our legislators have failed to stop this at the introduction of the GDPR!

From the side, all website operators have to act quickly before the first warning is fluttered into the house!

GDPR: WHOIS data no longer public/no spam anymore

At last, the WHOIS data is no longer publicly available in the top-level generic domains, many other EU country domains (ccTLDs) and also many other domains!

Thus, the largest sources of mail addresses that have been abused for spam have been closed! Also, no other systems may unauthorize this data Continue reading GDPR: WHOIS data no longer public/no spam anymore

Publication of the new 1AWWW privacy policy (GDPR)

Data protection regulations from 25. May 2018For years 1AWWW has been processing the data of all customers strictly according to the data protection conditions that apply in Europe! These are now regulated uniformly in Europe by the new GDPR and therefore the adapted conditions apply from  25. May 2018 for all customers:

For end customers, read here

For reseller, Read here

The implementation of the GDPR was not easy, because overarching organizations are unfortunately still in the phase of conversion to the GDPR, such as The umbrella association ICANN in relation to registration of most domain endings-we reported in the article “Introduction of new data protection-Carp becomes a fiasco
