Recently I found a virus on a clients WPE site. I reached out to there suppory and they told me it was because we were on there shared server plan and we needed to upgrade to there dedicated plan. From $20/mo to literally $2000/mo.

Maybe Matt's not going about it the way everyone wants him to, but at least he's trying to do something about this parasite.

Their statement implies they're preinstalling viruses on shared server clients' sites.
The could also be incompetent, or competent enough to maintain plausible deniability while guaranteeing viruses will eventually land.

(I’m taking the original claim at face value for the sake of argument.)
