The Phantom Menace of a Ransomware Attack: Double Extortion
The Phantom Menace of a Ransomware Attack: Double Extortion
Being hit with a ransomware attack is one of the worst threats IT and Security teams in Higher Education can face. But it often turns out that another threat, the phantom menace, is the possible exfiltration of student data to leak or sell it on the dark web. Cyber criminals know that some institutions may have a chance to recover some of their data from backups, even if it will take a while. So instead of just encrypting the files, or the backups, they will also try to exfiltrate the data first, threaten to publish it, and thus apply more pressure to pay the ransom.
Luckily, there is a new hope in the fight against cyber criminals and phantoms. Rubrik enables customers to mitigate ransomware attacks, so they don’t have to pay the ransom and there is a way to discover what was in the encrypted data. Knowing what data may have been exfiltrated can help you prepare for a potential data breach and guide you in your negotiations with the criminals.
