From their FAQ page[0]:
> What is your backup strategy / data retention policy?
> VFEmail feels it's important to provide a long-term, stable, environment for our users. In that effort, we perform nightly backups to an offsite host from all on-site and off-site mail storage locations. This backup runs at 12am CST (-0600) and contains all user data.
> 3rd party storage of user data is generally not wanted by privacy-conscious users. If you fall into that category, you will want to use POP3 and download your mail daily. Our backup is on a daily/weekly rotation, initiated by a snapshot. If you do recieve mail between your last POP and the snapshot at 12am, it will exist on backup for a week - unless it's on Saturday night, then it's a year. You should set your POP program to download every 5-10 minutes in order to avoid having your mail caught on backup.

- meowface 8y agoGood chance the SSH private key for that offsite host was on one of the servers the attacker compromised.
