This is definitely a 'bankruptcy' level failure. Why would anyone ever use this service again?
Agreed. They are done. Who would ever trust them with their data again?
I'm not a cybersecurity expert. Did they make a foolish decision that would warrant a lack of trust, or were they just unlucky?
They were moving the servers to another location and connected them all seemingly without any kind of firewall between them. Some servers were infected with malware which then spread out and infected the other ones, including the backup-servers.
Yeah I read that but I don't have the knowledge to say "what a rookie mistake" or "in hindsight that was a bad idea". I take it, it's the former?
No, it's firmly into "utter incompetence" and "Jesus Christ these people are ignoring basic practices"
Not only that, but also a wave of lawsuits will probably gurantee they go bankrupt.
