    One of my client servers on fasthosts has recently been compromised seriously and as such has incurred massive bills.

    To coincide with this fasthosts hosts issued a somewhat vague email about a security update that needed to be installed on their server.

    This strikes me as no coincidence however I got the bog standard "would you like an engineer to take a look at this for you at £9999/second".

    I have now demanded they fully publish details of the security floor and send out a press release and I am awaiting their response.

    In the mean time has anyone else been exposed to any of this.
