What Was Lost?
- Photos, Videos, & Audio: All user-uploaded content before 2016, including personal pictures and over 50 million songs from 14 million artists.
- Classic Account Content: Older blog posts, comments, and private messages were also affected.
Why Did It Happen?
- Server Migration: A project to move data to a new server went wrong, causing older files to become corrupted and unrecoverable.
- Failed Backups: The company's backups were also affected or unusable, leading to permanent deletion.
When Did It Happen?
The loss occurred in late 2017/early 2018 but was widely reported in March 2019 when users noticed their old content was gone.
