In late April 2026, the Linux community caught wind of a new vulnerability dubbed Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431). It’s a bug in the algif_aead kernel module that opens the door to local privilege escalation. To put it brutally simple: if your server is already running some shady third-party code or a web app gets breached, the attacker essentially gets a straight shot to root access.
When choosing a VPS server, it’s not just about price or the amount of RAM and CPU. One of the most important — and often overlooked — factors is the type of virtualization.
In this article, we’ll explain what KVM virtualization is, how it compares to other virtualization technologies, and why it’s the best choice if you’re looking to get the most out of your VPS.
Linux VPS is considered a safer alternative to Windows servers, but that doesn’t mean the risk of malware infection is zero. Even the most secure systems can be vulnerable if not monitored regularly or if unreliable software is used.
In this article, we’ll explain how to check your Linux VPS for viruses, which tools are best suited for the job, and what to do to avoid future infections. We’ll also share practical tips to help keep your server secure in the long run.
