Staminus Communications, a distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection company, was taken down by hackers late last week. The company described the attack on Twitter as, "a rare event [that] cascaded across multiple routers in a system wide event, making our backbone unavailable." Data including: customer names, e-mail addresses, database table structures, and routing tables was stolen and posted online in a hacker "e-zine" format, under the title, "TIPS WHEN RUNNING A SECURITY COMPANY."
