Lost data - The Memorial

Alexandru_BD

Have you ever lost any precious data that was never to be recovered?

I remember losing hundreds of photos forever due to a system malfunction. I tried to resuscitate my laptop for ages, but it was long departed in the digital heavens.

At the end of the day, choosing a cloud provider might be one of the best ways to store data.

Tell us about when you lost important files you will never see again. Was it a ransomware attack?

A hard drive failure? Backup malfunction? Social engineering? Old school theft?

Left your USB stick in your laundry? How did it feel? What did you change after that experience?

This is a virtual cemetery, for all the bytes of data we’ll never see again. Share your loss and we’ll pay our respects.
