    Agreed. They are done. Who would ever trust them with their data again?

      I’m not a cybersecurity expert. Did they make a foolish decision that would warrant a lack of trust, or were they just unlucky?

        They were moving the servers to another location and connected them all seemingly without any kind of firewall between them. Some servers were infected with malware which then spread out and infected the other ones, including the backup-servers.

          Yeah I read that but I don’t have the knowledge to say “what a rookie mistake” or “in hindsight that was a bad idea”. I take it, it’s the former?

        In order for a ransomware attack to do this level of damage there are several layers of problems

        1. They were not properly prepared to prevent the ransomware attack
        2. They lacked either the experience or expertise to mitigate it and contain it once the attack started
        3. They don’t have an existing backup of any of the data lost

      Not only that, but also a wave of lawsuits will probably gurantee they go bankrupt.
