I suppose it's possible that their backups were network connected and were similarly compromised, yet still. This otherwise seems to suggest that they're a fire or hurricane away from losing it...
I suppose it's possible that their backups were network connected and were similarly compromised, yet still. This otherwise seems to suggest that they're a fire or hurricane away from losing it all anyway.
That said, maybe either of those two events would cost more than 600k to recover from, so who knows.
