#2The moral of the story should have been -- change your hosting provider the minute they commit such a blunder.

#3This is a nice anecdote to promote their new Guardian service.

#4They probably use a homebuilt admin panel and sw mgmt, and an update brought back in the old root vuln. They don't use cPanel or Plesk.
Or the Chinese hacked it again.
Interestingly they - https://security.infoteam.ch/ - offer the very same security service, automatic security audits for their customers. Which explains their angry response the 2nd time.

#5Can't test the product they try to promote because emails with a `+` in them are not valid.

#6Important to remember that these “one of the biggest $x in $y” where $y is a country with a population under 10 million means that the statement encompasses many entities which are just a half-dozen people in a small office somewhere.

Maybe I got you wrong, but infoteam.ch are the guys who wrote the blog-post, so your link is to their product they are describing, and not one by the provider? How does that again explain the angry response?
AFAIK there is no mention or link to the provider, I guess since they don't want to make enemies just yet (and lose hosting while doing so). But I am willing to speculate that they are looking for another provider just now :)

#8For whoever was wondering who this provider is: according to whois-nslookup-mxtoolbox_arin_lookup, the server hosting infoteam.ch is provided by metanet (metanet.ch)
Not trying to ruin their business, but they should consider handling issues like this one properly.

#9currently infoteam.ch seems to be hosted on METANET (metanet.ch). Is there anyone who can deny or confirm that this is the provider they don't want to mention?
