They mean IPMI. All servers have IPMI and there’s remote root exploits against many versions of them.

Most (not all) servers have out-of-band management; of which IPMI is just one of many such solutions.

It's also worth noting that the hack could have been against in-band management if the Nord used an OS image provided by the DC hosts. However OOB feels more likely given their description (as vague as it was).

Don't worry about it. It could have been a mistake or a bot randomly voting. Either way complaining about down votes is against community guidelines.
