In the fallout from WannaCry Ransomware virus, some hosting companies, decided to pull their hardware offline, in order to prevent catestrophic failure of their systems, highlighting archaic hardware and software still being sold as new and perfromance systems.
One host in the UK, Fasthost, has copped a lot of flack, making the decision to pull their 2003 machines offline, which were backing up customers data. Naturally they now have a lot of angry customers, who weren't warned of the down time, going for up to 6 days without access.
