Had a meeting with a client the other day, they had been repeatedly attacked (and compromised a couple of times) by a hacker, who had recently been arrested (again).
Turns out he'd set up his storage in such a way that if he did not login and reset the clock within a 24 hour period then it wiped itself- said storage was inside an AWS image.
None of his computers had anything more than an operating system on- all storage was based in his "private cloud" (as someone is bound to call it), so when the coppers seized his machines they were doing him a favour as he could no longer login and keep his storage from nuking itself.
He's 21 I think- the client genuinely believes that next time they will never catch him.
