I just thought some of you used HyperVM / Kloxo for your VPS nodes or VPS.

They've been having security problems the last few weeks. But as of today, the only valid and 100% safe measure that can be taken by us is to stop HyperVM/Kloxo completely:

service lxadmin stop (if you're on a VPS)
service hypervm stop (if you're the node owner)

That shouldn't affect other clients - though you will need to perform your clients' reboots & reload manually.

Even the latest version can be compromised. I've seen one of my VPS being compromised some minutes ago (HyperVM & Kloxo were updated this morning). I just took it down.

Almost the entire a2b2 network was hacked some hours ago (as seen in WHT). FsckVPS and some other providers part of their network saw their full /vz dirs wiped.

Why I'm posting this here? If you have any averagely-popular website and you're using Kloxo on its box, chances are you've already been hacked.

Best of luck.
