We have received an abuse report from [email protected].
Please check the report for details and fix any (potential) problems:
We are seeing automated scraping of Google Web Search from a large
number of your IPs/VMs. Automated scraping violates our /robots.txt
file and also our Terms of Service. We request that you enforce your
Acceptable Use Policy against these customers.
To allow you to identify the customers, we are providing a sample of
your IPs they used today (Source field), as well as the most common

intended to be exhaustive, and we request that you terminate all of
their IPs/VMs, not just those on this list (which may be truncated to
keep the email short).
Note the above data is all the information we are able to provide.

YES
our Germany IPv6 connectivity was suspended by the upstream data center due to this complaint. and it originates from your IPv6 address.

what? i didn't know that

OP's username web scraped from Google also
How are you... online?
who was making the ipv6 hall of shame again? I want to know if ipv6 hijacking is possible. since OP did mention it was down for two days, then this bullshitery happens
but well, i trusted abdul's upstream more, ever seen similar thing in OGF (but they get in trouble for resource usage, not per-IP basis)
Fuck this 24/7 internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit.
Of course, IP stealing is possible, you just change your IP address to the one from your neighbour.
However, providers usually have things like IP and MAC filters in place, that prevent you from allocating IP addresses you don't have assigned to your VM.
Which also would be a breach of ToS if you do so.
Some providers don't, I know at least one who doesn't and then the question remains, is the protection working.
If the IP is unreachable, its unlikely, because usually its the other way around, your IP is reachable but you end up not on your virtual server.

No chance that your VPS was compromised?
So you signed up to tell us this?
"A single swap file or partition may be up to 128 MB in size. [...] [I]f you need 256 MB of swap, you can create two 128-MB swap partitions." (M. Welsh & L. Kaufman, Running Linux, 2e, 1996, p. 49)
I think the possibility of my VPS being hacked is very low, but the possibility of IPV6 being stolen is very high.
But I can't confirm whether the IPV6 is stolen or my VPS is hacked, because WebHorizon has locked my VPS.
@natvps_uk sorry to ping but can an IPV6 from the nats can be stolen?
IP stealing is impossible in OpenVZ.
ServerFactory aff best VPS; HostBrr aff best storage.
Germany IPv6 was locked by the data center due to this complaint. it originates from your IPv6 address.
openvz uses venet0 network mode, IP stealing is not possible.

Ironic that if you do something to Google they jump and send a nasty-gram, but if you complain to Google about spam coming from their services it is like sending it to a black hole.
Now,What should I do?
I can't extract evidence inside a suspended VPS. Even if it's hacked, all I can do is reinstall the system and use the certificate to connect to ssh.
Because it is a corporation who owns stuff. "Email" is nowadays owned by corporations, and they get to establish rules.
How are you... online?
just change provider then. its either your fault or provider fault. either way it doesnt work anymore.
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Do you know where there is a cheap JP and SG VPS for sale?
SpeedyPage, Contabo, Kuroit (SG only).

Thanks!
Normally we reinstall the service for client in such cases.
Thanks to this post, appears on the first page search for 'webhorizon reviews' ...

@FrankZ maybe title change is best?
Please reinstall the service.
I changed it.
You are using Gmail to buy servers from hetzner instead of company email!!? 🙄
Good to know.
Well Hetzner, explains everything.

Thats not true, I snuck into his vm and took it! Then I bombarded Google with requests about the illuminati controlling my left indicator and put it back before Abdullah woke up

I'll summarize what I know and my opinion.
Sorry, this is the first time I get a report of abuse, so I really don't know the details.
First of all, the time mentioned in Hetzner's email is March 27.
But I don't know if it was the time of the abuse or the time Hetzner received the report? If it's time for abuse it means my server has been hacked.
Why is it important to know when to abuse? Because now I only got this IPV6 from March 16th. But now based on the tone of Hetzner's email it looks like the abuse was done on March 27th? If the abuse was indeed carried out on March 27th, it means that the behavior was initiated by my server, whether it is my subjective will or not, although I can guarantee that I do not have such subjective awareness, this can only show that it is My DE was hacked. By the way, is the port 443 mentioned in Hetzner's email the port of Google?
Ohh,you are the hacker!!
So many cognitive suspects and twists... I guess it's time...
