Blogetery customers to get their data back

We reported earlier this week on the case of Blogetery, a small Toronto based blogging service that was knocked offline by its hosting provider, Burst.net after the FBI contacted them about an investigation. The agency was looking into claims that the service was serving as a home for al-Qaeda operatives and materials. The loss of service left over 70,000 people without their blogs and data. Now Burst.net says it will give a copy of the data to Blogetery’s owner, Alexander Yusupov. Yusupov vows to find a new host for the site as soon as that happens and said it will probably be Amazon’s EC2 cloud hosting service.

He had no comment on the revelation that there was indeed al-Qaeda bomb making recipes and recruiting material found on his site. Burst says that particular data will not be returned.
