How Secure Is Your Network
-
A 150 year old transport company has collapsed after a recent hack from a users password that has left the company's data being encrypted.

@CloudKnight interesting read.

Security isn't relevant. They didn't have backups. This was gross incompetence. Everyone getting ransomwared tries to cover up and trick the media to not admit that they didn't have the most basic of IT oversight.... just having backups. Had they had backups, the impact here would be very small. The concern about a compromised password is a distraction. Yes, MAYBE a secondary problem, but they are scapegoating an "unnamed employee" to protect their head of IT from a lawsuit. The investors are being scammed.

Now, of COURSE, how did one random password result in full network access? Sure, that's a failing. It's not nothing. But, it's gotta be taken in context.
