We are building for freedom in Africa, yet bad actors are trying to ruin us. Our African nodes have been hacked. While our customers' funds were not affected, the losses we incurred are so severe we've had to temporarily close our African nodes. This is so sad, we are so sorry 😢

If your hosting company was involved in this, don’t let anyone off the hook. Involve your local law enforcement as soon as possible. The thieves can’t hide their tracks on a transparent open ledger.
Is there any possibility to provide more details of the nature of the hack? Were passwords or physical hardware compromised or was it due to some sort of vulnerability or bug? More details would be helpful and insightful to the LN community.
We’ve tried figuring out (still trying) how they got in. Our seeds are stored offline. Passwords are secure, nothing on the logs that can help. It appears the hacker got access to the cmd and that can only be a fault from the hosting provider.

There are surely techniques to acquire command line access to a server with publicly facing services by exploiting the accessible service and break out of the confines of that service into the OS. If you're running software and possibly also an OS that you manage on a hosted server then surely there's a remote access service (eg: sshd) running. I'm not saying it wasn't hosting provider, just that there's surely other layers that are also possible. The most hardened services on the Internet get hacked. I feel for you and hope you can identify the point of entry and root cause.
