Smash and grab at data centre
A data centre in Chicago has been robbed by armed thieves at least four times in the past eighteen months or so, what makes it worse is CI Host is forever going on about how safe and secure their hosting is, and yet despite having CCTV that operates 24/7, proximity card readers, access controls including some biometric systems, man traps and total building surveillance, the thieves have still managed to slip by all of that and get away with $15,000 worth of Dell servers.
The thieves entered the facility by using a power saw and once inside the duty manger was repeatedly shot with a tazer type weapon and beaten with some sort of blunt instrument too, so this is no laughing matter, but how the intruders managed to by pass so many security systems is still a mystery.
