http://www.computerworlduk.com/management/security/data-control/news/index.cfm?newsid=9984 By Mike Simons Computerworld UK July 10, 2008 The Financial Times web site, FT.com, was struggling to cope today after the theft of equipment at a hosting centre, which is believed to have been unmanned. The online shopping site of Sainsbury's was also affected, by the theft. fibre optics, routers, servers and switches were removed from the site by thieves, who police believe were after scrap metal. The publisher was left unable to publish new articles or update data on its site following the thefts which took place at a Cable & Wireless network site, near to one of its datacentres in Watford, north of London. Instead the FT.com site was earlier today (10 July) being run on backup facilities in the United States. By mid afternoon the site was fully restored. A company representative said, "There was a reduced FT.com service on 10 July due to equipment being stolen over night from our third party hosted data centre site. Full functionality has now been restored and we would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to our customers and readers.
