Why? Whether you are on a shared host or you operate and run a VPS/VDS or a Dedicated Server. If the security of your account or website has been compromised by hackers, most likely this is nothing but your own fault. I see this kind of thing on a daily basis where I work answering support tickets for a web hosting company. The clients first relation is that they freak out and usually try to blame the host. This is because they lack the information of how to keep their websites secure and that in most case's, it has nothing to do with the actual security of the server. Most web hosts regularly monitor for Kernel updates that are released any other exploits that could cause any kind of harm to their servers. These kinds of actions normally keep the global or overall security of the server locked down and hardened. However, The issue comes into play when (you) the client begins to use scripts which may use PHP, Perl, or other things on the server. While these may be up to date, scripts can easily be manipulated and abused to the point where the security of your entire account can be compromised.
