Cloud Hosting Provider Data Resolution.net Battling Christmas Eve Ransomware Attack
Summary: Cloud hosting provider Data Resolution LLC, which serves some 30,000 businesses worldwide, was hit by Ryuk ransomware on Christmas Eve 2018 after attackers broke in through a compromised login account and gained control of its data center domain, briefly locking the company out of its own systems. The company shut down its network to halt the spread, said there was no indication data was stolen, and was still restoring email, multiple databases and Dynamics GP hosting more than a week later.
What you should know: A provider that sells business continuity and hosting as protection had its own domain seized through a single compromised login, and one customer reported learning of the attack from a third party rather than from Data Resolution, which said it only alerted affected customers.
