Web: Washington D.C. opal12 blocked by Malwarebytes

At this time opal12.opalstack.com (Washington DC shared hosting) is being blocked by Malwarebytes. The cause was an outbound SSH attack from a compromised customer shell account which caused the server to be listed in a major block list. As a result visitors who use Malwarebytes may see a warning when visiting sites hosted on opal12.

We're working with the block list operator to have the server delisted and expect to have this resolved within the next couple of days.

In the meantime, you may be able to work around the problem by adding your site domain and/or server IP 207.244.121.250 to your Malwarebytes exception list.

DNS: USA Partial DNS outage.

During a routine DNS update our Secondary DNS provider captured an incomplete zone update and propagated it. This means that various DNS services for opalstack.com services (DNS, Mail, and Web) are inconsistently available.

We have removed the Secondary provider and we expect this to resolve over the next hour as the DNS TTL caches time out.

  • The DNS issue is fully resolved now.

    Note that while this issue affected only the Opalstack US name servers and only for the domain opalstack.com. Since all of our regional services use the opalstack.com domain, effects of this issue may have been seen by customers outside of the US.

    If you're still having trouble connecting to Opalstack services then please try flushing your local DNS cache
