Seriously though, the Datacentres that we use have so many layers of security that it's difficult for me to get into them myself as a legitimate user. Shame he hasn't got a more redundant setup - but fantastic that the credit card details were stored elsewhere.. let's hope they changed the access passwords!

:p

Hmmmmm

With Mr G having such a high profile theft like this, I wonder if Mr Gabriel was the first to get his servers back up and running, before anyone else, ie before insignificant plebs with limited funds who's businesses would have been losing money by the second and employees livelihoods?

Err...

"And we can reassure people that all the financial details were stored elsewhere in a secure location and are safe."

So how come the servers weren't stored in a "secure location" as well? It seems a bit odd to keep thousands of pounds of computer equipment in a unlocked room...

Overheard at Secret World Studios:

Down by some railway siding

In their secret world they were conspiring

To find the places where we hid our kit

Now where'd our server go? Oh ****!
