Packet support contacted me one day last fall to ask about my business. I said I had none, I used Packet years before then for personal projects and only for a few days. Then they asked what my plans were for the 13 VMs I had running. I knew of no such VMs.&lt;p&gt;I guess my account got pwned.&lt;p&gt;They asked how I&amp;#x27;d pay for these - $900 worth I think - since I didn&amp;#x27;t have a valid card in their system (the previous one expired since I last used Packet). I told them to stop the VMs and allow me to reset my credentials. I also asked them to investigate their logs and geolocate all the users that logged into my account. I was also curious they actually let someone log into the account from a new IP (without notifying me) and also allowed them to run instances without a valid card.&lt;p&gt;They blocked my account, which also blocked this support thread. So I started a new thread from an alternative e-mail address to resolve the issues.&lt;p&gt;I never heard from them again.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Equinix is acquiring Packet</title><url>https://www.packet.com/blog/ping-power-processors/</url></story>

Equinix has been historically turning every single acquisition into a closed-off enterprise-only product&amp;#x2F;service, especially in the IXP space.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Equinix is acquiring Packet</title><url>https://www.packet.com/blog/ping-power-processors/</url></story>
