Right... it could always be someone running a dedicated server provided by them who did not secure their box properly and who got hacked.
It's not necessarily the company's fault though, right? It would be inconceivable and unreasonable to expect them to be responsible for securing every single one of the boxes they rent out, especially self-managed or colocated ones, right?
