What I want to know is why there are no off-site backups.
The site is on a machine that is rented from somebody else who hires rack
space from another party. This is just begging for a disaster, or data being
held hostage. Which is what happened according to the write up at that
address. It's also a single point of failure.
I have a response to that site owner and most here are not going to like it:
You are an idiot. This is an elementary error and you fully deserve what has
happened. Now stop whinging about how the big bad nasty terrible person is
treating you and actually take some responsibility for your own mistakes.
Wasn't this wiki also 0wned and defaced sometime in the last year?
