I doubt EGI has much to say in the matter since it probably caught them completely by surprise and I highly doubt they have some prepared speech for such matters.
The 2nd line makes no sense?

Sorry regarding 2nd line I shouldn't make replies while falling asleep...
Should of been: @Buffalooed what are you doing in regards to the images?

Yeah some asshat at imgur tripped on a cable and took something out or someone filed some pissy complaint about their shit showing up in photos and hosted on imgur's service. Either way, images got pulled and not by me.
I'll get them up again in a bit when new image solution I am monkeying with gets done throwing fits.

EGI takes pride in its colocation services, data center and network. The way this customer's cabinet was setup is regrettable and how this was allowed to happen will be investigated internally. In the meantime, the servers in this cabinet have been adjusted and cables properly labeled and organized.
While our technicians are well-trained on cable management and server racking, we also will be retraining our staff and managers to ensure such an issue never happens again.
Now, with regards to the pictures posted in this specific forum:
Those pictures were taken without EGI's knowledge or permission and are being used with no such permission from either the customer, the datacenter, or EGI.
Biometric scan, an access card, and a combination code are required to access the building, the elevators, the datacenter floor, and the cabinet. Footage is still being examined with datacenter security at this time and no security breach has yet been found.
The person who took those pictures knew exactly which cabinet to go to as the cabinets don't have customer names on them and this individual didn't just "stumble" upon the cabinet like the OP says. That person knew that this cabinet belongs to ColoCrossing and had access to it (i.e. knew the lock code to open the door) and deliberately took those pictures so they could be posted on this forum.
Such a person must have had access to the EGI customer database and while evidence is still being collected, we strongly believe that the person who took those pictures is an ex-employee who recently left the company and is currently (and also in the past) working for BuyVM.
That is also the reason no security breach was reported by the datacenter as the person who took these photos and provided them for posting actually had authorized access to the cabinet as an EGI employee. All EGI employees have access to all cabinets so they can service our customers as needed.
Because of this incident, EGI is taking measures to install additional security cameras in the colo and tightening employee access to all cabinets.
EGI takes this privacy breach seriously and will continue investigating this matter with the datacenter and take appropriate legal action if necessary.
Thank You.

Oh bugger off James.
It's easy to read the badges off the back of the servers, you can see it right through the grates. Scott himself told us where CC was when we visited 1090 the first time.
You drag the guy through the mud when you can but asked him to work double shifts the other times because your workers are taking part in a furcon convention or because they're too drunk to work.
Show some respect for your workers.

Know that fetish some kids have about how they're "really an animal trapped in a human body", and they dress up as said animal? That that, and escalate it to convention level.
There was one going on in San Jose when we did the Vegas move. Surreal, and rather distubing.
You know the people that dress up as bears, dears, etc, and then that's how they get their jizz on?
That's what a furcon convention is. It's a ton of people that truly believe they were born into the wrong
mammal and they get together with others.
It's extremely confusing to say the least.

Don't you dress up as a Pony?

I do not. I own a horse mask, used for humorous occasion. I do not pretend to be anything but a human, nor do I jerk it to bestiality. Logic before asking stupid questions would be refreshing, if you can manage it.
A silly mask is one thing, dressing up as a full horse with literal hooves gloves and such is a very different matter. One of the nights that we went out for dinner in SJC we saw a guy dressed as a horse in pure skin-tight leather with a horse mask (with zipper over the mouth) and hooved gloves.
They had a tail and someone near by had a whip.
It was extremely disturbing and we've seen some shit.

That was a serious question I didn't know it was just a mask.
Oh OK, didn't know it was just a mask.
