- Google Cloud accidentally deleted UniSuper’s account and backups, causing a major data loss and downtime for the company.
- UniSuper was able to recover data from backups with a different provider after the incident.
- The incident highlighted the importance of having safeguards in place for cloud service providers to prevent such catastrophic events from occurring.
Unprecedented only means there’s no precedent. This just hasn’t happened before at this scale.
I was only commenting on the phrasing. ‘unprecedented cloud event’ sounds like some global scale meteorological event.
