From Lore Sjöberg:

My former server host, GoGrid, tells me (via my business partner) that it's my fault my server was hacked fifteen hours after they installed it, because I didn't log into it before it was hacked.

To paraphrase freely, GoGrid is admitting that their security is so shitty that I should have known not to trust them to install a safe server. I should have been so suspicious of their policies and practices that I should have rushed to log into the server to lock it down as soon as they made it live, knowing that their default setup is such a screen door that hacking within a matter of hours was inevitable.

And, because of this, GoGrid is not refunding a cent of my year of pre-paid money.
