"Appears to" to the incompetent victim of attack, "I dunno how it happened therefore it must be hosting provider".
He has found no avenue of attack, decided he must be perfect sysadmin so it couldn't be say just a plain 0-day or fact he didn't upgrade some software with security problem and went on blaming hosting provider.
... then continued to use not only same provider but same compromised server for months.
