The same day PHP got hacked, VMmanager 6 (the biggest Russian virtualization software) has been compromised. It's used on hosting providers for thousands of business and government entities. The level of data loss is extremely severe and some services are still down.

What happened: a new security flaw allowed hackers to extract anything from servers, controlled by the software. They moved into data extraction, mounting drivers one by one as if they have access to all drivers from a single valid connection. And were noticed initially due to unusually high load. Was it a single group or many and what was lost remains unclear.

Good night chat

I was thinking this morning that I'm pretty sure Sony will release a "hotfix" 3 hours before the launch of GTA VI just to see if it can stop pirates from extracting the game.
And the best part is that it probably won't last even 24 hours.

Have a good Friday, everyone!

Cloudflare is doing its thing

The last name of the Kotaku author adds up, but EA, that was a really dick move...
