   It really depends on what happened and how you define "hack".  Anyone can have   
   a linux server on the internet, but if your username is "root", your password   
   is "password" and your SSH port is exposed to the internet, some script kiddie   
   will be in your system in as little as 30 minutes.   
      
   My guess is nosupportlinuxhosting.com's backend infrastructure was breached   
   somehow so that hackers had access to all of their customer's systems.

   cPanel has been having all kinds of problems, the most recent one is a 2FA   
   bypass vulnerability:

   I could imagine that may have something to do with their shutdown.
