      Major Subversion host lost everything, goes under.

        That's a brilliant example of a lack of proper Disaster recovery planning. With business practices like that, I'm glad they went under. I wonder if they attackers made copies of anything before they cleaned house?

          @alexntg no kidding. No backups? That's crazy.

            saying you're glad they went under is pretty stupid.

              I feel bad for anyone who had all their code on there and lost all their work.

                In theory, as it was Subversion. No one should have. Every user would have a local copy too.

                  @scottalanmiller true - hopefully nobody was unlucky enough not to have a working local copy.

                    Under normal conditions you would likely have a minimum of two working local copies.

                      Perhaps a context should be have been presented. It's like a business version of the Darwin Awards. Their stupidity took them out of the business gene pool. So while I'm not glad that it cost folks not involved with the DR plan their jobs, I'm glad that it came to an evolutionary dead end.

                        Not having backups leaves them liable for some massive lawsuits. I'd be really surprised if they ever come back. Titsup was a good word for what happened to them.

                          Depends on what service they were "selling". Being a sync system doesn't imply that they need to provide backups. Foolish, as we can see, but it doesn't imply that they violated any agreement.

                            Definitely sucks for people trusting that service for bespoke software projects.

                              They did have backups. They were also in AWS and geographically redundant. The attacker deleted the backups as well. The issue is that a proper DR plan would have addressed the issue of what would happen if AWS failed.
