Zaphosting hacked for the second time – 'data breach'

It happened again: Zaphosting has been hacked again and data has been published (leaked) by hackers. This is extremely annoying and we recommend that you be extremely cautious when making any further bookings.

For more information, I recommend keeping an eye on the publicly accessible ZAP social media accounts.

I wish you a nice day,

Already hacked for the second time

The German hosting company was hacked once before in 2013 and data was published. This has happened a second time: emails, IP addresses, names, phone numbers, addresses and purchase details were leaked. A complete SQL dump of the database of Zaphosting was published.

We therefore recommend that you do not order any further services from Zaphosting to book and contact the company directly if you have any questions. If you are unsure about your data, contact a data protection lawyer or other legal expert who is familiar with these areas.

If you have a server at Zaphosting have booked, you can think about changing the hoster.
