This is definitely a 'bankruptcy' level failure. Why would anyone ever use this service again?

Great backup strategy lmao "put them all in one place what could go wrong"

Good example of cyber crime causing bankruptcy.

Suggestions for being able to recreate your own websites:

YIKES... This shows the importance of keeping backups in a different cloud, or on-premise or something - and not trust one provider with your entire company / website

I like how they say "copy from wayback" like 'Save As..' works well on modern websites.

Seriously this. There's so much backend now that websites we view are pretty much created on demand instead just static html, css, and JavaScript.

And even when you can, saving files one by one from Wayback is a lot slower than re-uploading your local copy to a new server

Hmm, looks like there will be some servers on sale soon...

Hopefully they backed their data up to another cloud. Thots and prayers
