SEXi Cyber Siege: PowerHost’s $140M Ransomware Nightmare Rocks Global Data Centers

Feeling held hostage by your hosting? IxMetro Powerhost’s servers got a sultry shakeup from the new ransomware gang, SEXi. With backups in bondage and a $140M Bitcoin bounty per victim, this cyber saga’s getting steamier than a data center in a heatwave. Stay tuned, it’s about to get SEXi.

Hot Take:

Oh no, not another one! Just when you thought it was safe to host a website, along comes SEXi, the ransomware that's got a kink for VMware ESXi servers and a thirst for Bitcoin. With a name that's probably meant to make you blush rather than scream in cyber-terror, these naughty cybercriminals are playing a high-stakes game of 'encrypt em' all and let the admins sort it out. And get this, they're so fresh they haven't even been properly sampled yet! That's like being famous before your first album drops. IxMetro Powerhost, I feel for you, but maybe it's time to rethink that 'backup' strategy, eh?
