"Overnight, My Book Live data was deleted."

Recently, users using Western Digital hard disk around the world found that the data on their My Book Live hard disk evaporated overnight, leaving only an empty directory. The data was deleted, as the equipment was restored to its factory settings.

What about this time? The official suggestion of Western Digital is to cut off the network connection of my book live to prevent more users from being lost, that is, unplug the network cable.

According to the survey, the data loss incident was caused by two cyber criminal groups competing for control of the equipment. Without knowing it, ordinary users of my book live products became the victims of the competition between cyber criminals.

This incident occurred, on the one hand, because of the attack of cyber criminals, on the other hand, because of multiple vulnerabilities in western data itself. Cyber criminals can not only obtain access rights, but also restore the product to factory settings and erase all data on my book live without knowing the user password.

In addition to my book live users whose data has been deleted, the famous remote IT service management software kaseya VSA also feels bad.

Following the attack on Acer and JBS, a meat supplier, the Revil Gang targeted kaseya VSA again. Kaseya VSA is a cloud based it hosting service platform. Many large enterprises are using kaseya VSA to manage and publish software update systems. Revil Gang infects users through the company's VSA products. Coop, one of the victims, has been affected and 500 chain stores have been forced to close.

The blackmail attack has infected more than 1 million devices and affected more than 350 enterprises. Cyber criminal gangs require bitcoin to pay $70 million as a ransom. If it is cashed, it may become the highest ransom at present.

In the information age, a sound data protection capability can not only escort the normal operation of business, but also improve the construction of corporate image. The construction of data disaster recovery is imperative. As a professional Cloud Data Center disaster recovery solution provider, Vinchin can provide effective solutions to blackmail software.

1. Local real-time backup

Vinchin supports the local real-time backup function, deploys the Vinchin disaster recovery backup system in the existing production environment, and can backup the existing business data in real time. In case of server failure or blackmail attack and downtime, it can quickly restore the data on the backup system to the business database, and supports fallback at any point in time, which can not only recover the data quickly and efficiently, It can also ensure the consistency of data.

2. Rapid business takeover

While deploying the Vinchin disaster recovery backup system server, a server in the same environment as the business database is deployed in the production environment as the takeover server, and the backup data is stored in the takeover server. When the server is down due to blackmail attack, the takeover server can directly take over the service, and choose to rebuild the production system from the takeover server in due time.

The more cyber crime incidents occur, the more important data backup protection is. Data is an asset. The later the backup is done, the higher the risk of data loss. Pay attention to data security, do a good job in data backup and protection in time, and establish an efficient disaster recovery and backup solution, so as to avoid the hands of cyber criminal gangs.
