Their parent company actually, Host1Plus, the best part is they don't even have backups, so all data is lost.
FOR FREE SERVICE! They never even advertised backups.
Lot of lowend companies don't offer backups, at least not free.

Their parent company is actually a premium provider, not even low end. They however gave 3 months of service free with full support for the damage.

They gave 3 months free service for their FREE PRODUCTS? It's... So amazing!
He means Host1Plus. Host1Plus is the parent of Host1Free, and I believe they used the same Solus (Not too sure?) but just had Host1Plus provision servers on a different servers than those of Host1Free. Regardless, what he meant was they gave 3 months free service to the paying customers.
Probably not in the lowend market, word traveled quickly and most providers acted faster than skids.
Either that or there were smaller providers that were hit that we don't know about yet, because their 15 clients haven't complained, or perhaps there are providers who got hit with their DBs stolen and they either don't know about it or haven't made it public yet. Any number of scenarios here.
I don't believe it was only RamNode, quite a few providers on LET was showing their log files showing people had tried and failed with them, so I am sure there is a handful out there that we just haven't heard yet where someone succeeded.
There could be someone out there sitting on hundreds of SolusVM DBs to be sold or used for god knows what. Mass hacked VMs used for giant botnets, just pure destruction of data, spam, any number of things of really.

That reminds me of the ChicagoVPS hack in November that wasn't declared in public and admitted by Chris for a good three months, well the database theft part.
The 1000 VPSes that were purged, lots noticed the day of the event.

Not to be taken seriously, ever!
Perhaps the hack (db dump) wasn't known before the actual destruction of the vm's?
Oh look.
I'd say we can add CVPS to the list.

Seriously? Where was that said? Would it of been obvious to them if they were compromised? As in, did they actually know before it be made public again?
Yikes.
