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?
  
  Not only that, but also a wave of lawsuits will probably gurantee they go bankrupt.
Great backup strategy lmao "put them all in one place what could go wrong"

Good example of cyber crime causing bankruptcy.
Suggestions for being able to recreate your own websites:

Own local backup

Copy from Wayback - https://web.archive.org/

YIKES... This shows the importance of keeping backups in a different cloud, or on-premise or something - and not trust one provider with your entire company / website
- I like how they say "copy from wayback" like 'Save As..' works well on modern websites.
  
  Seriously this. There's so much backend now that websites we view are pretty much created on demand instead just static html, css, and JavaScript.
  
  And even when you can, saving files one by one from Wayback is a lot slower than re-uploading your local copy to a new server
Hopefully they backed their data up to another cloud. Thots and prayers

  "Thots and players" you mean?
Hmm, looks like there will be some servers on sale soon...
