Roundup of Social Lending News – December 24, 2011

December 24, 2011 By Peter Renton 8 Comments

Views: 2

Every Saturday I bring you the latest news from the world of peer to peer lending. These are the best of the news articles and blog posts from around the web that I shared on Twitter this past week.

I expected the week before Christmas to be a pretty quiet one on the news front but that was simply not the case. As I mentioned yesterday, I did an interview with Fox News on Monday and the segment was aired several times on Tuesday. I link to the article (with video) below. There were plenty of other great articles this week including several interesting posts from some of my fellow p2p lending bloggers. Merry Christmas.

    @Charlie/@Michael, Yes, I saw it last week and considered doing a post about it but decided against it. But I have had several people email me or comment here about it so maybe I should write about it.

    Just a hunch but I think lendstats was hacked…

    @Shawn, Yes. I have let Ken know but haven’t heard anything. I know it was fine yesterday. I hope his site is back on again soon.

    Some script kiddie just replaced all of the index.php/index.html files on the shared host.

    Still works.

    @Michael, Well that is good news. I upgraded from shared hosting to a VPS a few months ago to try and avoid these kinds of issues. Sounds like it will be a relatively easy fix.

    Yeah. One of the down-falls of shared hosting is that if one site on the server has a vulnerability, it can effect the others too.
