When Ransomware Targets Your Last Line of Defense

This article discusses ransomware attacks that specifically target backup and disaster recovery systems, which are typically an organization's final protection against data loss. The piece explores the tactics attackers use to identify and compromise backup infrastructure and the implications for incident response and recovery.

Why it matters: Security teams and backup administrators need to prioritize backup system isolation and monitoring, as compromise of backups eliminates the primary recovery path and forces difficult choices during an active incident.
