Gosh the ISP's security must be pretty crap. And how long would it take
to rip out the servers. Also what would they do with them ? (They did not
contain CC details)

Very embarrassing for those involved though. :blush:

668656 2008-05-13 00:53:00 looks like they are taking the replacements REAL serious


We've taken the 'opportunity' to move our servers to a new facility and so now have "On-site armed security is around-the-clock. They monitor the alarm system and security cameras that are on all perimeter points of ingress/egress to the building. Bulletproof security station and shipping/receiving areas with a Biometric security system are also in place. Our personnel require authorized escorted visitations." And if the power goes off our new providers have 50,000 gallons of fuel for the generators on site, so we hope to be available and pretty resilient to outside forces from here on.
