"TinyGrab was attacked and the attacker was able to gain access to one of their servers. Although the details are scarce, the attacker corrupted the codebase for TinyGrab 1. The TinyGrab team was forced to migrate their entire userbase to the newest version, a version which wasn’t completely ready for yet."
I didn't find any mention of it in TFA, but do people just not do backups anymore? Or rolling, dated backups? My wife owns a small retail/web store, and I backup her Quickbooks, the database, and the source code nightly, and keep at least a few weeks of those backups on the drive where it's stored, 2 different backup drives, and and offsite place.
Is this overkill? Perhaps, but it would have saved us from that.
- cocoacoding 16y agoI was a bit confused when I first read about it. I'm sorry if I worded it a bit weird in the article. My best guess is they broke something with how the TinyGrab client interacts with their internal API's. They did have backups, but it looks like it was deeper than that. That is my best guess.
