    However, due to the system’s large-capacity, low-performance storage structure, no external backups were maintained — meaning all data has been permanently lost.

    Why were there no backups? “Because there was a lot of data” isn’t really an answer.

        Every single high level IT-manager I’ve met except one has been completely clueless about IT and only gotten the position by licking ass and promising meaningless things that sounds good to the equally clueless board or executives (like “we will use AI in over 60% of our business by the end of the year”).

        When entirely predictable shit eventually hits the fan, they redirect all blame.

        The agency responsible for providing medical information over phone and the internet in Sweden kept the recorded phone conversations of patients calling them on a publicly accessible NAS in Thailand.
