Funny, I thought of that movie immediately. Glad my servers aren't hosted with them...

My first thought was that it was spam or conficker-related and I was joyful with the news the Feds were finally taking action...

...but tis not to be.

wow that's crazy. My company just leased some gear from Speakeasy, a large service provider, that has a datacenter there. I've been in the main "hub" room, it's about a thousand square feet of fiber optic cable and gear. The guy giving the tour said most of the Internet traffic for the southern US hits that room.

If i had to take a guess i would say they're bringing down a kiddie porn ring. I think a full on FBI raid is a little over the top for a movie leak.

Whatever it is, it has got to suck to be Core IP right now. Customers don't care why their service went away, they just want things to work. I bet they lose a lot of customers over something that's not even remotely their fault.

It's The Repuglicans' fault!

Patience, IT Professional, patience. It's hard to report out 10 Unfair Park items in their entirety every day. Especially when they involve the FBI and a CEO who's not talking, except Internet postings.

The agent in charge, Allyn Lynd - putting "special" back into special agent.

Here is the urban dictionary defition of the “special” agent in charge Allyn Lynd. He has a history of such thing. And from what I hear this is the third of second data center he has hit in a month in Dallas. He has reportedly frozen the assest of the companies hit this way so they have no real recourse to fight such malicious abuse of power. I think Core IP must have had lawyers on retainer to just get as much out as he did.

Core IP, is a registered CLEC going under the name CVC CLEC, LLC . According to document's filed with the State of Washington.

The business owners and anyone on that server that did not commit a crime should be able to sue for illegal search and seizure. These customers were renting space to place their private personal property on. Unless the FBI had probable because that everyone on that hosting provider committed a crime they don’t have a warrant to search and seize everyone’s personal property.

It would be the same as if you lived in an apartment building and someone was selling drugs in a room on the 5th floor and the FBI came in and raided your home, took all your property, and locked you out without serving you a warrant. This is Illegal in every way, protected not just by local and federal laws but also by the constitution of the United States.
