Site forced to close after attacker infiltrated its EC2 control panel.
Popular code hosting service Code Spaces has been forced to close after an attacker managed to access its Amazon Web Services EC2 control panel and delete most of its customers’ data.
A note on what remains of the Code Spaces site explained that the events leading up to its demise began with a “well orchestrated” distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on Tuesday.
The still-unidentified assailant was then discovered to have gained access to the firm’s EC2 control panel and left a series of messages with a contact Hotmail address.
