My host cracked and my blog lost
June 14, 2009 by Amr
On the 8th of June, at 1am GMT I received an e-mail from my blog host, VAServ, announcing that they were cracked around 7pm GMT on the 7th of June. They were cracked through a vulnerability in HyperVM software (a software for managing vps instances across servers).
As a result, I lost 100% of my data. Here is exactly what happened.
I was at work, and I immediately checked my blog and found it to be working. By the time I got home, it was no longer accessible. That was strange, because VAServ e-mail indicated that they brought down most of their VPS nodes which had been cracked.
I sent an e-mail asking about why it's has been taken down now, they said that they are investigating it. I didn't understand, because I had just accessed the VPS few hours earlier and it was fine.
2 days later, they reported that that node had 100% data loss. But sorry, that can't be true, because again, I had accessed it myself and it didn't have any problems.
I wasn't taking regular backups of the blog. Lesson learned the hardway. Apologies for everyone whose comments were lost.
On the good side, I was able to recover the majority of the blog. This blog was the launchpad for many Drupal patches, and for the purposes of development I had a not-very-outdated copy running on my laptop!

Могу предложить Вам посетить сайт, на котором есть много статей на интересующую Вас тему.
Я считаю, что Вы не правы. Могу это доказать.
Жаль, что сейчас не могу высказаться - опаздываю на встречу. Вернусь - обязательно выскажу своё мнение.
Сожалею, что ничем не могу помочь. Надеюсь, Вы найдёте верное решение.

Hey there, I'm wondering about Landing Page Optimization and whether you have any experience with this. I'm starting a project and need to figure this out pretty quick. I have read many of your posts and have found them to be very good and helpful. The detail is most appreciated.
I better, perhaps, shall keep silent
