Here’s a new one

Taking profiteering to a new level:

I got hacked by my own host. No, it wasn’t a mistake. No, the server didn’t just go down. They hacked it so that they could upsell me on some $2000 security audit and package!

“They” seems to be the malicious action of one individual who part-timed on support for the hosting provider and worked at a security consulting firm. Interesting (but illegal) way of drumming up business…
