**GET YOUR DATA OFF OF GOOGLE'S SERVERS**
"UniSuper, an Australian pension fund that manages $135 billion worth of funds and has 647,000 members, had its entire account wiped out at Google Cloud, including all its backups that were stored on the service."
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/google-cloud-accidentally-nukes-customer-account-causes-two-weeks-of-downtime/"UniSuper is an Australian "superannuation fund"—the US equivalent would be a 401(k). It's a retirement fund that employers pay into as part of an employee paycheck; in Australia, some amount of superfund payment is required by law for all employed people. Managing $135 billion worth of funds makes UniSuper a big enough company that, if something goes wrong, it gets the Google Cloud CEO on the phone instead of customer service."
