WebHostingTalk.com Gets Hacked, Loses 6 Months of Data
27 03 2009
Earlier this week, WebHostingTalk.com, one of the biggest forums on the web for web hosting discussions, was maliciously hacked. According to a WHT representative, the attacker got in through their backup, deleted it, and moved onto the main server from there. Apparently the reason they lost so much data was that they weren’t making “backups of backups,” something I posted about the importance of a while back. Just more evidence that you can never be too careful.
