An ex-administrator of a Netherland based KVM and VPS
service provider, Verelox, went rogue deleting all customer data files and at the
same time wiping most of the servers.
According to bleepingComputers,
the company’s website and servers went offline and later came back online the
next day with a message informing users of the damage done by the ex-administrator.
In a bid to recover
the lost data, the hosting provider had to shut down all their servers although staffs says chances of recovering all the lost data is dime. The company promises compensation
for users who still retain their services. No customer will be billed during
the service downtime.
The company has
provided an email address where users can inquire about the status of their
data. Verelox is advising users to change their passwords.
