Submission + - "Unprecedented" Google Cloud event wipes out customer account and its backups (arstechnica.com) 1
swm writes: Buried under the news from Google I/O this week is one of Google Cloud's biggest blunders ever: Google accidentally deleted a giant customer account for no reason. UniSuper, an Australian pension fund that manages $135 billion worth of funds and has 647,000 members, had its entire account wiped out at Google Cloud, including all its backups that were stored on the service. UniSuper thankfully had some backups with a different provider and was able to recover its data, but according to UniSuper's incident log, downtime started May 2, and a full restoration of services didn't happen until May 15.
