Security problems, sounds like. A normal server outage results in
timeouts, not 404s. On the other hand, someone deleting all the files
results in 404s. Good thing they had offline backups.

Let's just hope they're using JDBC prepared statements that
automatically quote their own arguments the *next* time someone tries
to sign up there as "joe_douche';DELETE * FROM cms_web_content". :)
