URL-shortening service Cligs found themselves the victim of Canadian cyber-terrorism as a malicious attacker changed all of the destination URLs to a single location.
Fortunately for Cligs, they had backups of their data! Way to go!
Unfortunately, the backups had been turned off since early May, “for some unknown reason” 
Backing up your data is only good if you keep those backups up-to-date! If you’re backing up your desktop with Carbonite and a backup doesn’t happen for a few days, you’ll get a reminder e-mail. Mozy, like IBackup, tells you when a backup was successfully completed, but not when there’s an error (Mozy will pop-up on your computer, IBackup can send you an email). Personally, I’d rather know when something goes wrong, rather than every time something works (it’s supposed to work every time!).
It’s been 4 hours since my backups last ran, but prior to that, it was 6 days – oops! Good thing I caught it. When’s the last time your backup successfully ran?
