Latest: HyperVM/Kloxo Vulnerability June 09, 2009 - Posted By James  A large amount of webhosts and streaming hosts have been shut down today after data for as many as 100,000 websites was destroyed by attackers who targeted a zero-day vulnerability in a widely-used virtualization application.Technicians at UK-based Vaserv.com were still scrambling to recover data on Monday evening UK time, more than 24 hours after unknown hackers were able to gain root access to the company's system, Rus Foster, the company's director told The Register. He said the attackers were able to penetrate his servers by exploiting a critical vulnerability in HyperVM, a virtualization application made by a company called LXLabs. "We were hit by a zero-day exploit" in version 2.0.7992 of the application, he said. "I've heard from other people they've been hit by the same thing." Foster said he's been unable to reach anyone at LXLabs to discuss the suspected vulnerability. Broadcasting World has also received no response to inquiries sent to the company, which according to its website is located in Bangalore. 6:19AM Update: Software company owner K T Ligesh, 32, was found hanging in his house. He was also deeply upset his company, Lx Labs, in HSR Layout, 6th Sector, had recently lost a project to another company. The police said Ligesh, son of Dr Sreedharan of Kannur, Kerala, was a brilliant software engineer who came to the city about four years ago. He set up his company which was doing quite well and stayed with a friend Sheenu in the same house where his company was located. 4:59PM Update:  Mixstream's billing system, support area and control panel area is experiencing a major outage.
