I was reading a fresh article:
http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2009/0 ... der_death/
They were using vulnerable software in their hosting setup and got attacked by an intruder, who erased all data on the entire server that contained over 100 000 websites. The CEO then committed a suicide...
Ouch.

Been following this over the last couple of days.
Very sad.
The way the whole thing's been handled by the hosting company has been very good though from what I've seen.

Not nice at all, bet the guy who did the original attack isn't feeling too great now

I think the business thing was the straw that broke the camels back. If you read the article it says his mother and sister commited suicide too (I think, going from memory from yesterday)
