Hackers push malicious Virtualizor update in BGP hijacking attack

Attackers hijacked Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing for Virtualizor VPS management software update infrastructure, redirecting legitimate update requests to servers hosting malicious code. Organizations running Virtualizor were exposed to code execution through what appeared to be genuine security updates.

Why it matters: VPS hosting providers and their customers using Virtualizor for infrastructure management face immediate risk of compromise through trojanized updates; patching to legitimate versions and validating update authenticity is critical.
