Cloud source host Code Spaces DDoSed and wiped - Developers lose code
Today, SVN and Git source repository Code Spaces announced that it's down for the count after hackers took control of its back-end -- and destroyed its code repositories in retribution after system admins attempted to regain control of the site.
According to a statement published on its website -- which is now down -- hackers took control of Code Spaces and attempted to ransom it. When admins attempted to regain control of the system, the hackers destroyed its archives in retaliation: "most of our data, backups, machine configurations and offsite backups were either partially or completely deleted," Code Spaces' statement read.
During that process, at least two game developers have lost code: Ian Stocker of Magical Time Bean, developer of Escape Goat 2, has lost access to earlier revisions of his project which were stored on the service and are now destroyed. Bounden developers Game Oven were also affected, according to a tweet from designer Adriaan de Jongh.
