A fire at the National Information Resources Service (NIRS) Daejeon headquarters destroyed the government’s G-Drive cloud storage system, erasing work files saved individually by some 750,000 civil servants.
Pretty big conspiracy theory for a situation where incompetence doesn’t seem out of the ordinary.
SysAdmins saying “We need X, we need Y”, someone who signs the cheques saying “But it works fine! Why would there be a fire? We already spent so much on those UPSs”
As a sysadmin that’s pretty much my worst nightmare. I really feel for those trying to pick the pieces back up again after that.
I feel your pain, but meanwhile I’m laughing. No backups, no fire suppression system, what the fuck are these clowns doing.
Suppressing evidence? Looks like this was a deliberate oversight to later erase data.
Probably data retention safety was overruled earlier by one person.
So, I think the designed erase worked as designed .
