Both CloudNordic and Azero said that they were working to rebuild customers’ web and email systems from scratch, albeit without their data.
Yea… Don’t bother. But, do expect to hear from my lawyers…
CloudNordic said that it “had no knowledge that there was an infection.” CloudNordic and Azero are owned by Denmark-registered Certiqa Holding, which also owns Netquest, a provider of threat intelligence for telcos and governments.
Edit-
Crazy that an admin had full access to all files on all drives including backups without requiring any kind of elevation, where a ransomware could encrypt it all.
At this point 8 don’t even know if paying would be the way to go to at lease rexover the files and rethink their security from the ground-up.
Danish cloud host says customers ‘lost all data’ after ransomware attack
I’d hazard that that Danish cloud host probably lost all customers after that happened too
If, I were a customer- I would be leaving for sure.
When- you pay a cloud vendor, you are generally paying to ensure a few things…
- That this stuff doesn’t happen.
- That when this type of stuff does happen, they have a recovery plan / working backups.
And, when this hit the news, and I discovered they are owned by a company with a stake in cyber-security, I’d be jumping to a replacement pretty quickly… and staying far away from this company.
How do you fuck up this badly in 2023? I can see this happening in 1999.
CloudNordic said: “The attackers succeeded in encrypting all servers’ disks, as well as on the primary and secondary backup system, whereby all machines crashed and we lost access to all data
They did. They were affected too, if you read the article.
If your backups are online and not in a warehouse, you are doing it wrong. Even my own personal backups are on disconnected disks. What a bunch of amateurs.
Hm, so I can’t rely on the Hetzner backup and should backup manually to a hard drive at home at least every now and then.
The fire ovh had created this problem for many. Some people’s backups were in that data centre and they lost everything.
Yes, home backup and or cloud backup with a separate provider.
