"The discovery of 24 security vulnerabilities may have contributed to the death (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/06/09/lxlabs_funder_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 (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/06/08/webhost_attack/). The HyperVM solution is popular with cheap web hosting services and the attacks are easy to reproduce (http://isc.sans.org/), which could lead to further incidents."
