Default Firetank and others

Yes, it was not good.

All up over 100 hours and costs of around $5k for new equipment

We had to throw out the old drives, 5 in all (1 terabyte).

We have now set up the same structure, but have a triangle of switches and routers and put additional machines on there own network on each side of the SAN.

Ie: Internet comes in through router to SAN, from router breaks off to 2 additional routers, and then to each network.

Each network can access the SAN, but cannot access each other what so ever.

To top it off, we are now pulling the cable on Network B, and only plugging in to do backups, thus we have a complete fall back network.

It has been the worst virus I have seen in 18 years.

We even had to re-build all of the Linux Boots that were running on shared machines, as the first Boot was XP, and Boot Sector could not be repaired.

We bought a number of recovery tools, but as this was a destructive virus and not a simple virus that just delete partition tables. Nothing could be recovered.

Goes to show you are not even safe with the very latest virus software !

Anybody reading this, waiting on us, please be hold and we will be with you as quickly as possible.

No customers or Live servers were effected, just the complete development platform.

Take your backups guys, or consider a similar setup to what we have now implemented.
