"Virginia's government servers, generally speaking, are maintained on contract by Northrop Grumman, and they use Iron Mountain for offsite backups. They may even be replicating the data across two locations in different parts of the state, which are quite intentionally situated on two different tectonic plates. So yeah, they have backups. Also, the shutdown of affected servers is standard policy during a security incident, so that they can be preserved for forensic analysis and to prevent further damage. They seem to be doing the best they can with a bad situation." - Tony Gambone

"A few months ago, a web application I wrote was successfully hit by a [mass SQL injection attack](http://www.modsecurity.org/blog...) because of a bug in my code. It completely hosed the database, which had dozens of tables used by many different applications. We had to restore it from backup. When I discovered the problem with the database, I reported it to management and started looking for the vulnerability. Because the DB was so heavily used, the entry point could have been just about anywhere, but I eventually found it by identifying attack attempts in the web server logs, and then attempting to inject my own SQL using the same patterns. I found the vulnerability and fixed it with a change to one line of code. I also came up with some rewrite rules for our Apache config that would prevent the same type of attack from ever reaching our applications, and recommended a better database security model that isolated applications from each other and..." - Tony Gambone
