Dear Customers,
You may have heard that a flaw recently discovered in the motherboards manufactured by Supermicro has left more than 30,000 servers vulnerable to hackers who could easily identify exploitable servers and download login passwords in clear plain text.
Also, there is another vulnerability that has been noticed around this issue - that most of the hosting systems are running older versions of the Linux kernel.
We use Supermicro motherboards too. That is why our admins took timely measures to apply the necessary security patches based on the new firmware update provided by Supermicro. Oh, and did we mention that we are keeping our Linux kernel up to date always? Well, yes we do!
Kind Regards,
Support team
