This is the company that spread a heap of crap about hypervm because they lacked the skill to keep their nodes secure, the hackers ONLY ever hacked them, if hypervm was inseucre we would of seen much worse.

As I understand it hypervm helped them alot in removing all the data because it had some cool scripts that where used as tools in this hack however, they still needed the passwords to get in and that wasnt hypervms fault.
VAServ went quite after it stated it was a hole in Hypervm and they never said any more on the subject.

Then the hackers released that they managed to hack it via poor managment @ VAServ, vaserv never replied to this either.

What a useless company, blaming everyone and everything else for their own poor management.

What do you think?

After all this happened, VAServ was taken over by BlueSquare. This is a good thing since it's less likely to happen again in the future.

Umm...

There WAS exploits in HyperVM that could have allowed the hackers to remove all data from all connected VM's.

VAServ may not have done very well in their resolution of the situation, but they are not entirly to fault. Even HyperVM's creator (now dead) admitted he was contacted around 3 months ago about security issues in HyperVM, but could never replicate the issues himself, so ignored them.

If you designed the software and can't reproduce the exploit, it's hard to say if it's real and if so how to fix it...

Just because you designed the software, does not make you an expert at exploiting it.

Sure but it's damn hard, not to say impossible to fix something without reproducing the issue.

So you hire outside help ;) Get a fresh pair of eye's to look over it.

I'm not confident that is the problem of the server you have, but the problem with your web application instead. Check if you have updated wersion of your applications.
That is not because of the server. That because of the web application you have
