Popular web-hosting firm 123-reg is regretting a catastrophic error it made this weekend, which saw it effectively delete an unspecified number of its customers websites.

The real problem is not that a script was programmed to delete business websites without first suspending them into a 28-day holding bay or having a human eye doing a quick double-check before data was wiped, but that automated backups were not in place.”]
