I came across this story today…a man who own a server comapny accidently deleted all data related to the 1,500 websites that his company hosted including the back-up data.
So basically he has deleted his own company. Quite a mistake to make.
I wonder has anyone here done the same in testing or heard any stories of similar large mistakes?
This reminded me of the Morris worm which was actually supposed to be just a harmless experiment. It was the first widespread worm attack and the total economic impact it had was between $100,000 – 10,000,000. And the creator of the worm was sentenced to three years probation, 400 hours of community service, a fine of $10,050 plus the costs of his supervision
