Today my server was attacked by a server owned by soladrive.com; specifically IP addr 96.44.156.75 (which is also owned by quadranet.com). I sent a report of the attack to abuse@soladrive.com. That email was rejected with this text:

pipe to |/home/sola/public_html/support/pipe/pipe.php
    generated by abuse@soladrive.com
    local delivery failed

I then forwarded that to support@soladrive.com — the address I found on their web page. That also bounced with the same error. WTF! Why would anyone use a VPS provider without a working abuse email address? Oh, right. They use companies like this because they don’t give a shit about security or abuse from their network.

Shortly after writing the above text I sent an email to sales@soladrive.com which is also on their public web page as a point of contact. It too bounced with the same error. Jebus H Christus. The people running Soladrive.com appear to be morons.
