Peter Gabriel's Web Server Stolen

Posted by timothy on from the maybe-just-a-disgruntled-fan dept.

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.
