There were rumours they had trouble with an outdated version of the
web administration tools (Confixx?) which had a security flaw - and
had not been updated by their customers. This security flaw has been
used by "hackers" to gain access and do all sorts of evil things, so
-afaik- some customer servers had to be shut down.

I could imagine they are just buried in user help requests :-)
