I'm actually fairly happy with the way they handled it. Because I run a small startup myself, I often put myself in the position of people committing blunders like this, because, frankly they can happen to anyone.
Just yesterday I accidentally wiped 30 minutes of production data, despite taking great care to have multiple backup systems in place. The error: I was upgrading our CI and accidentally swapped the production and staging labels. I back up production and make a copy to staging on every deploy. But I don't back up staging data, because who cares. Thankfully it was at off-peak hours and no customers were affected.
But I'm going off-track. What I mean is, I would have done exactly what Ghostery did in this case, so I'm happy with their response. Just like when LastPass made a mandatory site-wide password reset because of an anomaly, and when GitLab lost production data.
