Blockheaded thieves made off with Peter Gabriel’s website over the weekend in a low tech fashion. All is well now. No clue if this was Gabriel’s actual reaction at word of the theft.
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
[I] just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
From the Reg:
Peter Gabriel’s website and the website and ticket buying site for Womad, the world music festival he founded, are back online today after their servers and routers were stolen at the weekend.
Opal Telecom, which hosts the servers in High Wycombe, was unwilling to comment, but a spokesman for Gabriel’s music company Real World said thieves got into the data centre on Sunday night/Monday morning.
He said: “We’ve got pretty much everything back online now including Peter’s site and ticketing for Womad. And we can reassure people that all the financial details were stored elsewhere in a secure location and are safe. The thieves took servers and some core networking kit – routers. Despite the conspiracy theories we don’t think we were targeted, it was just a hardware theft.”
Bunch o’ lunkheads.
