RE: Ransomware and Balance Sheets

One of the servers that I am maintaining fell victim to ransomware (about 3 months ago). Good thing I have an automated everyday backup of the database I was able to make the server running again in just under 1-2 hours (if I remember it right). After the ransomware attack, I made some changes to our network so that the attack will never happen again.

The good thing is that the ransomware didn't make it into your backups. Be thankful for that.

Yes, I am very thankful (^_^)

Good thing I got 3 separate backups (one on the server itself, one onsite backup, and one offsite backup).

YEs. But sometimes they get the ransomware in and don't activate it right away and it ends up on your backups so that when you restore the backups after the attack they are infected as well. You may want to enssure those backups are checked very throoughly.
