Canadian business process outsourcing giant Telus Digital has confirmed it suffered a security incident after threat actors claimed to have stolen nearly 1 petabyte of data from the company in a multi-month breach.
I’ve worked with a ton of rack storage servers that handle like 45 disks. Even using older tech like 12-16TB drives you can get half a petabyte of usable space on one server even with raid array redundancies, etc.
Before the stupid AI hardware craze, these old enterprise servers were super cheap too, the main cost of running them was the power lol.
I know, but that’s still some serious hardware. Suggests state level backing or similar.
Eh, I have about 96tb of storage at home but a lot of it is backups, the actual data it holds is ~20tb. There are loads of homelabs bigger than my 2 server setup.
