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?"

    How could they have gotten in? Something like a sledgehammer maybe?

    Several burglar tools were found at the scene of the crime. The perpetrators apparently used a sledgehammer to gain access.

    Won't someone please think of the listeners?!? Next time steal Phil Collins' servers instead! Crikey.
    Here in the States you can't get into a big data center without being spotted by several video cameras. Sounds like an inside job, or very lax security.

    Just so that the ignorant make no mistake, Peter Gabriel's biggest hit song was "Sledgehammer". That one was run into the ground so bad I had fantasies about hitting him with a sledgehammer on a daily basis for a few months, i.e., every time I heard that damn song.
