Peter Gabriel's Web Server Stolen

miller60 writes "Web servers hosting musician Peter Gabriel's web site have gone missing from their data center. "Our servers were stolen from our ISP's data centre on Sunday night — Monday morning," reads a notice at PeterGabriel.com. The incident is the latest in a series of high-profile equipment thefts in the past year, including armed robberies in data centers in Chicago and London. How secure is your data center?"

    Jimmy Page had all his tapes for Outrider stolen, and was forced to rerecord the entire album from scratch. In that case I expect the theft was targeted, while in this case, I imagine it's just guys busting into a data center to steal equipment.

    No he didn't.
    No one deserves to be the victim of a thief.
    That kind of thinking was spawned from insurance companies.

    If they had a 99.999 uptime contract, then they have every right to bitch.

    Yeah, if music was set back maybe 4 decades, that'd be pretty cool.

    What blows my mind is the article that talks about a group of guys cutting through reinforced walls with a powersaw... what the!? the techs didn't hear an insanely loud noise and think - maybe I should investigate? Then after having realized a bunch of whack jobs are coming in just call the cops and hide someplace? The place has already been robbed 4 times. They can't come up with some better security? geez. You might as well be hosting your stuff at 7-11. At least there you might get a feisty old timer with a shotgun or a bat to fend criminals off.
