I am guessing some people have, as there is a new update out a few hours ago I think.

I had a look and I was amazed how bad that was. At least 7 or 8 libraries are embedded, and most (if not all) of them are totally outdated (what stunned me the most was Extjs in version 1). I posted about this in another thread.

In my view HyperVM has had its day, they needed to act a lot quicker than they have done if they wanted to even begin to salvage a small portion of their client base. Waiting around as long as they did has only damaged the reputation of the software further.

And now it's finally open people (including me) are asking: How on earth did they survive with code this bad?
Personally I'm going to salvage as much as I can, seeing if I can get something up that's compatible with HyperVM... but without any of the cruft.
I'm not even going to attempt to touch kloxo/lxadmin.

The sad thing is there are still all kinds of hosts out there using Lxadmin/Kloxo and doing nothing at all to secure their systems. I decided to give it a quick try with the last update to see just how secure it is now. I must have been kidding myself.
From the day the VPS went online the site was hacked within 24 hours. The host did nothing at all to harden the system which is seemingly typical. Turning on iptables, locking down directories - nothing seemed to do any good because the hackers just kept coming in time and time again.
My assumption is this - if a host offers Lxadmin/Kloxo in any way shape or form not only avoid that VPS service but their company as a whole because they'd have to be friggin idiots to run this junk.

You forget that many good/reputable hosts jumped onto the lxadmin bandwaggon while it was closed source and there was an appearance of security.
Then the hacks come out, the rest of us start auditing it too and realize what a steaming pile it is internally. But that doesn't change the fact that all their VPS customers are now using it and everything's picked up enough momentum that moving away is *painful* to do on such a scale.

Who knows about other closed source panel currently in the wild... Seriously, has any of them had been audited?
Well, we are now nearly 5 months after the issue. What to think about people that didn't finish the migration in that long period of time?

While there are certain vps servers still running lxadmin/kloxo despite providers notice on security issues (if they announced any), provider is not the one to blame.
However you can still see providers offering possibilty to provision lxadmin/kloxo images on their VPSs, and this is something to account when judging their professionalism.

It works.

Man, please don't write it this way. Write "free of charge" or "available for everyone" not just "licenses are free" as this is very confusing in English.
In the eyes of many, including all people that are working in Debian, just having to report your installation make it non-free. The way it's currently managed, kloxo / hypervm can't be considered free software.
