Quote:An email service called VFEmail was essentially put out of business after a hack intended to delete everything in (and out of) sight.
“Yes, @VFEmail is effectively gone. It will likely not return. I never thought anyone would care about my labor of love so much that they’d want to completely and thoroughly destroy it.”
This wasn’t “just” a simple webpage compromise, or some sort of database dump. In fact, it was something altogether quite worse. Put simply, the total annihilation of a service and most, if not all, of its infrastructure.
What happened?
