’script error’ casues dreamhost customers to be billed for 2008/2009

If you are a dreamhost customer you might want to check your credit card/bank statement. A glitch in billing means dreamhost customers were charged various amounts from $200 - up to $4000 for their accounts..

Dreamhost is working to fix the problem and refund victims, if you are a customer I suggest you check your credit card/bank statement as you may experience overdraft fees, etc.

Why make the effort (Ads)

Coming soon, my article on how to turn a 200MHz PC into an encrypted fileserver. Or a really decorative wastepaper basket. Whichever comes first.

In the mean time, here’s an amusing advert I ‘borrowed’ from some Swiss bike maker:
