Kinda like that jackass AG who targeted a journalist for viewing the HTML of a state site and published an article about the PII hard-coded within the web app. Don’t make us look bad!

    In the early days of ransomware I helped a small business of a friend that was attacked. They got in and waited months, creating garbage backups until they were confident then sprang the trap.

    Tbh I was impressed with how thorough they’d been.

      Yeah, backups are useless unless you restore and test regularly. But it’s one more step of admin that few people / organisations do sadly.
