Security Flaw Hits VAserv; Head of LxLabs Found Hanged

Posted by timothy on from the jerks-with-computers-elaborately-shrug dept.

Keldrin_1 writes "The discovery of 24 security vulnerabilities may have contributed to the death of the chief of LxLabs. A flaw in the company's HyperVM software allowed data on 100,000 sites, all hosted by VAserv, to be destroyed. The HyperVM solution is popular with cheap web hosting services and the attacks are easy to reproduce, which could lead to further incidents."

    You screw a hook into the head, then hang it where you'd like. Try to think these things through in the future.

    "Hanged" is the correct word. Very sad all the same...
