Why Ransomware Deletes Your Backups Before You Know You've Been Hit
Ransomware operators target backup systems in 96% of attacks and successfully destroy them in 76% of cases. Understanding how attackers locate and eliminate backups before encryption is critical for designing effective ransomware defense strategies.
Why it matters: Organizations relying on backups as their primary recovery strategy face a severe gap in resilience: attackers are systematically destroying backups before victims detect the intrusion, leaving no recovery path once encryption begins.
