Managed hosting service provider Rack Force has accidentally deleted one of its customer’s decade-old databases, which contained more than 1.5 million forum posts. Impalassform.com, which is a leading automotive forum and allowed users to share information on the Chevrolet Impala, has now lost around ten year’s worth of data.
RackForce’s general manager Randall Robinson said that the error was an extremely unusual and unfortunate event. “The issue was caused by a miscommunication between the customer and one of our technical staff, which resulted in a data file being deleted,” Robinson said.

Rackspace Hosting expects to issue customer service credits from Monday’s data centre outage of between US$2.5 million and US$3.5 million, the company has announced in an SEC filing.
A series of equipment failures contributed to the power outage at a Rackspace data centre near Dallas, where several parts of the facility lost power. The most significant failure involved a bank of generators that malfunctioned, leaving several computing clusters without backup power. Other failures involved equipment that connects the data centre to its two utility feeds, a UPS system and a transfer switch. The outage affected two of the four phases of data centre space in the facility in Grapevine, Texas.

US bank sues IT supplier Savvis
IT services company Savvis is being sued by US bank Merrick following a data breach in 2006 at the bank’s payment processor, which had previously been vetted by the supplier.
The Courthouse News Service reported that Merrick Bank is claiming it lost US$16 million after hackers stole unencrypted credit card data from its payment processor, CardSystems. The bank is alleging that Savvis had assessed CardSystems and reported that its security processes met credit card regulations. However, less than a year after the assessment, Merrick said the CardSystems computers were broken into and millions of credit cards were stolen, resulting in the bank having to pay a US $16 millions to Visa and Mastercard in fines.
