They probably use a homebuilt admin panel and sw mgmt, and an update brought back in the old root vuln. They don't use cPanel or Plesk. Or the Chinese hacked it again.

Interestingly they - https://security.infoteam.ch/ - offer the very same security service, automatic security audits for their customers. Which explains their angry response the 2nd time.

Maybe I got you wrong, but infoteam.ch are the guys who wrote the blog-post, so your link is to their product they are describing, and not one by the provider? How does that again explain the angry response?

AFAIK there is no mention or link to the provider, I guess since they don't want to make enemies just yet (and lose hosting while doing so). But I am willing to speculate that they are looking for another provider just now :)

I got it wrong, not you. Thanks for the heads-up.

They didn't mention who leaked the data. I got confused. The symptom they described looks like an automatically updated system with a leak. One of our swiss customers, a big hosting provider, uses such a system and would fit.
