Something similar happened to us a few days ago on our RimuHosting VPS. A Python script was eating ~80% of the VPS CPU, so their tech guy, without asking us, tries to login as root to our box (WTF?). He fails, so he responds by rebooting our VPS, thus (?) causing some disk corruption, which he then tries to repair. Then, after-the-fact, he writes us a very confused email about the whole story.
Needless to say, we're moving away from RimuHosting. This is unacceptable.
An excerpt:
"I noticed your VPS was using a lot of CPU. I was not able to log in there, and on the console I saw lots of out-of-memory messages.
I restarted the VPS to make sure it was running in a sane state. I checked the console after a reboot and saw an error indicating some filesystem corruption. I stopepd it again and repaired that. Then replaced the /etc/inittab file which appeared to be corrupted. Now I see that has booted fine."
