    So I guess if I want to pay for my VPS with crypto I am a criminal? Good work cyber sleuths, you solved the problem!

    This is the hosting equivalent of racial profiling and this firm in Texas should be ashamed. It is not good cyber security work.

    At best they’ve identified something everyone else already knew and witch hunting Cloudzy (even if they are 100% malicious,) provides zero value.

      It’s kinda 50-50 here

      Yes they accept crypto for everyone, but this was the real kicker to me:

      Cloudzy is registered under its previous name, RouterHosting, in Cyprus and the U.S. state of Wyoming, according to corporate records reviewed by Reuters and confirmed by Nozari. He said the company needed U.S. domicile to be able to register internet protocol addresses in America.
