Ransomware Attacks Attempted to Compromise Back-Ups, Study Reports
FutureCIO, Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024
Around 94% of organisations hit by ransomware in the past year said that the cybercriminals attempted to compromise their backups during the attack according to a study conducted by independent research agency Vanson Bourne.
John Shier, field CTO at Sophos said "Backups are integral to an organisation's resilience. Therefore, it's not surprising that attackers proactively attempt to compromise them. Early detection and a swift response to anomalous activity on a network can prevent attackers from reaching backups in the first place.'
