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."

    As opposed to you know, screwing the company over, taking a huge bonus, and running to the Bahamas (*cough* AIG, Bank of America, Chase, GM, WaMu *cough*)

    Was he in a closet? Was it wrapped around his neck and genitals which was later covered up with the phrase "his body"?

    I think I see a serial killer starting to emerge.

    Yes, it's called "Getting Laid on a Regular Basis".
