All my source code gone!
-
I put all my personal source code in private repository hosting. Yesterday night, I was working on a personal project and it failed to check in my code. I thought it was just routine system maintenance. Just now I went to the website and saw this notice[^]: The short story was a hacker failed to extort money from them and proceeded to delete all/most of the repo and snapshots. I think I cannot sleep tonight! :( They advertised Oracle was one of their customers. I wondered how much Oracle lost.
All Git repositories are available for export
I'd send an e-mail pdq to get what you can back.

Most of my repo are SVN. Only a few new repo are GIT.

Terrible. Outsourcing your server is a bad idea, and outsourcing the storage of sensitive information is an epic bad idea (think tax-information, banks, medical records, aw - the cloud-horrors that are still awaiting us!) As soon as you outsource your server, you're no longer in control and depending on the other party.

You still have your local copy of your source code ?
I'd rather be phishing!

Bearing in mind the grief we are having getting our network back up I am keeping all my source backed on my local hard drive, dropbox & memory sticks!! :(

Agreed 100%. There's no way I'm putting my private information in the 'cloud'. Bearing in mind the frequency that 'reputable' companies are admitted getting done over (adobe, ebay etc.), how long is it going to be before people are stealing far more than your password?

Yes, only recent projects. I deleted the very old projects.

Their notice is something of a gut-wrenching read. It's very sad that people have lost their work, but also that there is no longer a future for the company which although I'm not familiar with looks like its been up and running for a few years.

I just read the statement on their site. That truly sucks :( Whoever is responsible is an absolutely bastard and a coward.

Ouch, that sucketh. But just more evidence that "no one else but you can keep your stuff safe". I agree with the others that this whole "cloud" thing is a very bad idea.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

But for the moment where all your local data is gone. In which case it might be quite interesting to have the data somewhere in the cloud.

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

Keeping in cloud is redundancy against keeping them all on my home PC.

It is a good thing you have back-ups.

You mean the company you pay for this repository don't do backups? :omg: Change. Now. And demand your money back as well...

That should teach you all that USB drives, Private NAS drives and other personal backup / repositories were a good idea and that the cloud is a bad idea.

There is no guarantee it won't happen at another company. I should have chosen the option to pay monthly, instead of annually. My yearly subscription ends at October. I'll see if I can get my remaining money back.
