How HTTP/2 Bomb affects the operation of VPS and dedicated servers

The flow of requests overloads the VPS and dedicated server, which increases the load on resources and worsens the performance of services.
When server resources run out faster than you think

Sometimes the problem looks illogical. There is no sharp surge of visitors on the site, the traffic on the graphs does not hit the channel limit, the number of requests does not look catastrophic. But pages open slowly, some requests fail, the web server starts taking more memory, and the application responds every other time. In such cases, people often look for a heavy script, a database error, or a lack of resources on the plan. And that really does need to be checked. But there is one more scenario that is easy to miss: abnormal load through HTTP/2. In particular, an attack called HTTP/2 Bomb.

Why a Backup Does Not Guarantee Data Recovery on a VPS After a Failure or Attack

Backup is only part of the protection if recovery is not verified

On many VPS servers, backup is available as a standard feature or as an additional option in the control panel. For the owner of a website, online store, CRM or internal service, this is a genuinely important advantage. If something goes wrong, there is a way to restore data from a backup instead of rebuilding everything manually.

Why Linux VPS Owners Should Pay Attention to Copy Fail

Copy Fail as an excuse to check Linux VPS security

In late April 2026, the Linux community caught wind of a new vulnerability dubbed Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431). It’s a bug in the algif_aead kernel module that opens the door to local privilege escalation. To put it brutally simple: if your server is already running some shady third-party code or a web app gets breached, the attacker essentially gets a straight shot to root access.

Which old password creation rules no longer work

Account security starts with the right approach to passwords

Passwords are often perceived as a formality: added a digit, put an exclamation mark – and the job is done. But this approach is based on rules from ten years ago, when there were far fewer services, and computing power for attacks was much more modest. Today each of us has dozens of accounts: from email and banks to work panels for domain management or cloud storage. A weak or repeated password in such an ecosystem creates a domino effect: once one site is hacked, everything is put at risk.

Cyber hygiene as the foundation of security for a company and a user

The lion’s share of successful breaches – over 90% of cases – is not the result of genius hackers or the use of some space-age technologies. Most often, attackers simply walk through doors that were left unlocked. A weak password, an abandoned account of a former colleague, or disabled login verification makes it possible to bypass even the most expensive protection systems. When the “key” is lying under the doormat, the strength of armored doors no longer matters.

How SSL certificates help protect a brand and increase trust

Protection and trust in online communications

When a brand активно communicates via email, it automatically becomes a target for phishing: users are used to trusting a familiar name in the sender field and rarely check the technical server address. SSL solutions for email shift the focus from simple encryption to visual proof of ownership. Instead of forcing the recipient to look for signs of forgery, the certificate displays a verified logo or authenticity marker directly in the mail client interface. This creates a clear barrier that scammers cannot replicate and protects the company’s reputation at the level of the first glance at incoming messages.

How the SSL certificate renewal interval is changing in the coming years

There was a time when SSL administration felt almost routine: install the file on the server, check the green padlock in the browser, and forget about it for a year, sometimes even two. But the security industry is steadily moving away from the idea of “long-lived” certificates. The gradual tightening of their validity periods forces a rethink of привычные approaches to maintaining web resources.

How fraudulent websites use SSL to deceive users

The presence of HTTPS does not guarantee the integrity of the site

The padlock icon in the browser’s address bar has long been seen as the main marker of safety. Users got used to a simple rule: if there is HTTPS – there is trust. However, today this symbol has become a mandatory standard even for phishing pages, and the presence of an SSL certificate no longer guarantees that you are on a legitimate resource.

How SSL Certificate Types Differ and How to Make the Right Choice

The type of certificate depends on the format and tasks of the site

An SSL certificate works like a digital passport for a website. It doesn’t just “enable” encryption – it creates a secure tunnel through which passwords, card details, or personal messages travel from the browser to the server as a chaotic set of characters. Intercepting them in this state is technically possible, but reading them is not. The user sees the result of this process as a lock icon in the browser, while the site owner gains the loyalty of search engines, which давно have made SSL a mandatory technical standard.

How the lack of time synchronization creates security issues for websites

Even minor technical discrepancies can disrupt the stable operation of the service

When it comes to website security, people usually mention complex passwords, SSL certificates, or DDoS protection. Time, meanwhile, is perceived as a kind of technical decoration that does not affect stability. Yet it is the correct synchronization of the server clock that forms the foundation on which security mechanisms rely. If a server “lives” in its own dimension or lags by a few minutes, problems appear that are not easy to diagnose right away.
