It's like the difference between a bad guy hacking your system

brute-force scan the system at a speed orders of magnitude faster.

Hi Steve, nice to see you here!
What I'm wondering is if the software stored on gethub is insured or
store at your own risk?
I don't know, but have always assumed it's at one's own risk. On
GitHub, or any other "cloud" resource, read the terms of service. After
all their "we're not responsible" and indemnification clauses, you're
more likely to be civilly liable for someone else's data loss than to
have the vendor or anybody else pay you for their negligent loss of
your data. All fans of "the cloud" should read all the TOS agreements
before signing on.
There's something fishy about this story.

It was first published on June 5th and now dated June 6th, I first read
the story on June 5th at the same link. Not recoverable, not repairable
or so they say and who's data will be stored there? I don't know abut
you but the only one I trust to store my data is me and I'm backed-up
since '94 on 3 external and 2 internal drives with no problems and it's
safe to say I'm a pack rat.
