South Korea's entire government "cloud" storage just got nuked. No back ups or copies. Dozens of Petabytes worth of national security level government storage gone permanently. Probably the worse cyber security incident over the last 50 years. https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2025-10-01/national/socialAffairs/NIRS-fire-destroys-governments-cloud-storage-system-no-backups-available/2412936

>>106807695>no backupskolega is excavator driver but can set up a server for cheap for you
And? It's like someone losing his collection of made up collectible pocket animal pets cards. South corea is like Latvia, not a real country. The big nose fellows will just make up a new history for it.
>>106807695Like 10% of the businesses in the world have secondary-site backups

>Oopsie, all of the financial information that could have unveiled decades of fraud and other sketchy monetary traffic burned down.>We also lost all proof of any wrongdoings by the corporations against their workers>It really is a pity we lost all of the data pertaining to an ongoing investigation about politicians and kids>Paper copies? Don't you remember when we made those illegal in the name of the environment?It'll be easier than ever to nuke data permanently.Truly we're living in wonderful times.
>>106808588this is outdatedtheir latest president tried to coup the country. and not ironically like Trump
>>106807756ThisIt's a gigantic corporation wearing the skin of a country.
>>106809290>It'll be easier than ever to nuke data permanently.Or fake data.>It says right here felon anon that you were convicted in 2023 of being the hacker known as 4chan and escaped a month ago.

>>106809391>The combined sales of the four family-controlled groups, Samsung, SK, Hyundai Motor and LG, reached 980.5 trillion won ($729 billion) in 2023, accounting for 40.8 percent of the country's nominal GDP, Rep. Cha Gyu-geun of the minor Rebuilding Korea Party said, citing data from the Fair Trade Commission. Pretty much.

>>106809581it's over
thank god its the wrong korea
>>106809290it's ok, in the future there will be some intergovernmental, transnational alphabet entity in charge of storing and securing all government data. you won't have to worry about crucial data being lost because it will all be safe in the hands of the data center equivalent of the world trade organization. you'd trust them, right?
>>106809746south korea has more data on their citizens than north korea
>>106809290paper copies is insane. should have blue ray disk archives of important stuff, though. youd be burning them shits 24/7 but at least you could store them in a vault
>>106807695No worries Israel still has a copy
THERE IT GOES, THE EPSTEIN LIST AND (((TAX EVASION)))!
>Final reports and official records submitted to the government are also stored in OnNara, so this is not a total loss,” said a director of public services at the Interior Ministry.> >The Interior Ministry explained that while most systems at the Daejeon data center are backed up daily to separate equipment within the same center and to a physically remote backup facility, the G-Drive’s structure did not allow for external backups. This vulnerability ultimately left it unprotected.
>>106807695The Ministry of Personnel Management, which had mandated that all documents be stored exclusively on G-Drive, was hit hardest.Nothing personnel personnel.
>>106810145and so does Samsung who likely is the actually relevant party in charge.
>>106807695>Xhe doesn't have offsite backupsI don't either and now I'm getting nervous.

A full recovery is expected to take a month. >Four people have been arrested as police investigate whether professional negligence contributed to the fire.
>>106808575>The stored data amounts to 858TB (terabytes), equivalent to 449.5 billion A4 sheetsyeah good luck with that
>>106811164>858TB>A hard drivedamn they sure are in the future
Just run recuva and it should be fine.
>>106807695>No back ups or copiesThey should ask NSA, it probably does have backups of this.
>>106808438Try to find mentions of Latvia ANYWHERE in actual physical documents (maps, mentions by travelers at the time who documented their shit etc) before communists created it.
>>106809581https://www.chosun.com/english/national-en/2025/10/02/FPWGFSXMLNCFPIEGWKZF3BOQ3M/>The Ministry of Personnel Management, which uses the G-Drive extensively, is in a state of emergency. >On the other hand, the Office for Government Policy Coordination, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and others say that few public officials use the G-Drive. >Although it has been six days since the fire, the recovery rate remains in the 10% range. The recovery speed is gradually decreasing. >“After removing the dust, we will sequentially restart the burned computer rooms.”it shouldn't be funny but the article's just hilarious
So, what are the most major consequences from this?
>>106811197How many football fields is that?
>>106811164>professional negligenceWhere do I send my resume?
>>106811304A lot.
>>106811260Public humiliation of the failed state known as South Korea.
>>106810037>blu-ray discsnig that's baby shit, modern tape storage is fucking absurd. a single modern tape cartridge can hold 50TB of data.
>>106811440You can stack paper
>>106811164>>106811608>858TBthat's less than 20 mag tapes, which is like $2-$3k. that's peanuts.
>>1068113046,000,000
>>106807695they just need to ask china for a copy of the backup they made.
>>106811630The system was probably designed incorrectly so creating a backup was impossible without taking it offline for a few days each time.If so, then senior people definitely knew this and were given approval to continue without backups because a few days of downtime are "unacceptable" to ministers. Now they know that there are various degrees of unacceptability and that a few days of disruption is less bad than losing everything.
>>106807695How much will he charge them for his "backups"?
>>106811864Oh that's good.
>>106807695They probably had all of their backups on site.
Yeah bros, I'm starting to think North Korea had a point.
>>106807695>National Information Resources Service >no backupLmao come on now, might as well scream "we're destroying incriminating informations".
>>106811609Ok. How high do you want to stack them?
>>106813045One ream is 500 sheets and thats about 2 or 3 inches tall. So you could reasonably stack around them to around 8000-10000 sheets. That reduces the amount of space needed down a few hundred football fields. And we could stack the paper higher too, and get a bigger building. A football field isnt that big in comparison to a storage warehouse.
>>106807695Very convenient way to destroy evidence of corruption
>>106812119>senior people definitely knew this and were given approval to continue without backupscorrect. The reason is that evidence of government corruption and other crimes can be hidden as needed when the data is all in one place.Read up on how Stasi were burning and shredding everything in their archive when East Germany fell. Would've been a lot harder to do if they had multiple copies of everything.
>>106807756What's their alternative?Korea has nothing to offer beside being corporate slaves
>>106811608>magnetic tape: 30 yrs>M-Disc blueray: 1000 yrs
>>106811239Hmmm. I was trying to get to Norway through Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland on my motorbike this summer. Right on the polish lithuanian border it stared raining so hard I had to turn back after a few hours. The forecast was for a downpour for the next 8 or so days. I was shivering after 2 hours.Was it them manipulating the weather to stop me from reaching the supposed latvia geographic location?
>>106811260cult members completely absolved
>>106814464So basically they are pointing at big numbers and saying it's a loss of [something], no one knows really what it even could amount to.
>>106814404They were trying to buy some time to prop up the 2d house cutouts along the road so you'd think it's a real thing.
>>106811609Why does the guy on the far right side of the image look uncannily like Thom Yorke? Haven't used fluoride in a while there's plenty of good dental products without it
>>106811239im going to blow your mind hereevery country didn't exist before someone created it
>>106815039Yes but communist creations such as Latvia don't follow the rules of nature. It always feels off.
>>106815086
>>106814706I fucking knew it!
>>106811164>lost 858TB of information after a crucial hard drive was destroyed in a fire at a data center in DaejeonShould've used Samsung.
>>106808438The like deporting russians back to Russia, which is pure infiltered russophobia.
>>106815297What are Russians doing there in the first place?Colonizing as usual, I guess.
>>106808438tldrh; russians and tankies dislike the baltics because they broke off from russia and became rich while russia remains poor.

>>106807695I'll never get why would anyone store their shit on "cloud" when you can just buy an external storage unit and/or build a home server instead. Unless your home'd get destroyed by a tornado in an hour or so
>>106811203i bet its all nig deives in jbod raid 0
My clients are there and they just lost 300k worth of security equipmentthey got to rebuy everything and I can't stop smiling
>>106817006and more,they've been 'building' an act/act backup datacenter for 18 years now, keeps changing plans.The official in charge of DR for this incident jumped off a building.Very Korean way of handling things

>>106811197>858TBFrom a data storage POV that's actually trivial these days. Samsung even makes a 61TB SSD, thats like 15 drives.
>>106807695I hope it was all their surveillance data.
>>106811197You can buy 20tb hdds on amazon fot $350. You need 43 to backup 858tb so that's around 15k USD only.You could even make it 100 drives times 5 for redundancy and it's only 175k. I'm sure the poor South Korean economy cannot afford such a large sums of money so that's too bad.
