A tale of email woe for PlusNET ISP. According to this announcement they have spent the last month attempting to recover 700GB of accidentally deleted emails. By their estimates, up to 12GB of these had yet to be read by their recipients. Despite the efforts of a data recovery specialist, they have now given up on recovering any of the deleted data. Well that’s one way to deal with spam.
It seems strange to be that even a recovery specialist could not recover most of the data. Either way, this is a huge hit to PlusNets credibility.
