Hostgator Disabled SSH Access Because OpenSSH Exploit
Hostgator removed SSH Access today. It seems because of the possible explout via OpenSSH. Hope it will be patched soon because I really rely on SSH for my hosting.
One of my website need to be moved to hostgator and I need the ssh to restore the DB quickly.
In response to a new possible OpenSSH exploit brought to our attention today, we have been forced to disable SSH access for all of our shared and reseller customers and we strongly recommend our dedicated clients restrict access to their SSH services by firewall as well.
We are currently developing a patch in response to this new threat and we will release the full details as soon as possible. We will update this thread within the next 24 hours with futher information as it becomes available.
