Vietnamese blog service loses data of 25,000 members
Last weekend, a popular blog service in Vietnam, Ngoisaoblog, announced there had been a “devastating” incident: They “lost” 50,000 entries of bloggers.
According to the service’s master group, Ngoisaoblog server broke down without clear reasons, resulting in the loss of all data of Ngoisaoblog and some sub-pages. However, they had a backup copy of Ngoisaoblog until August 2008. This means that all entries and information on specialised pages from August 2008 until now were lost.
Some bloggers were angry when the service masters said that it was lucky there was a backup until August 2008. The customers said that Ngoisaoblog was remiss in not keeping a backup for the past seven months and it was unacceptable that Ngoisaoblog didn’t give priority to protecting users’ information.
