    Great backup strategy lmao “put them all in one place what could go wrong”

    Good example of cyber crime causing bankruptcy.

    Suggestions for being able to recreate your own websites:

    YIKES… This shows the importance of keeping backups in a different cloud, or on-premise or something - and not trust one provider with your entire company / website

        And even when you can, saving files one by one from Wayback is a lot slower than re-uploading your local copy to a new server

        Seriously this. There’s so much backend now that websites we view are pretty much created on demand instead just static html, css, and JavaScript.

    This is definitely a ‘bankruptcy’ level failure. Why would anyone ever use this service again?

      Agreed. They are done. Who would ever trust them with their data again?

        I’m not a cybersecurity expert. Did they make a foolish decision that would warrant a lack of trust, or were they just unlucky?

          In order for a ransomware attack to do this level of damage there are several layers of problems

          1. They were not properly prepared to prevent the ransomware attack
          2. They lacked either the experience or expertise to mitigate it and contain it once the attack started
          3. They don’t have an existing backup of any of the data lost

          They were moving the servers to another location and connected them all seemingly without any kind of firewall between them. Some servers were infected with malware which then spread out and infected the other ones, including the backup-servers.

            Yeah I read that but I don’t have the knowledge to say “what a rookie mistake” or “in hindsight that was a bad idea”. I take it, it’s the former?
