Anti-ransomware case: 12 Hours of Thrilling Stars

The following is a real ransomware attack and successful recovery story: An educational institution faced a thrilling ransomware attack and rescued the production system in 12 hours.

In recent years, the educational institution’s data volume has exploded. Especially in the past three years, the growth rate has been as high as nearly ten times. As the amount of data continues to grow, the organization faces the hidden worry of efficiency and performance impact during the expansion of the backup system. Moreover, it is not convenient for the institution to build its own equipment. Therefore, the company began to try Aurreum Data Protection Appliance.

One day after Aurreum Data Protection Appliance was working, the institution was unfortunately attacked by ransomware. Fortunately, the IT team found the problem in time so that the data was successfully restored in the first place.

The administrator received the alarm at 1 a.m. and rushed to the company at 7 a.m. The Aurreum team provided remote support and recommended to shut down some systems that may be associated with the intranet, and troubleshoot business systems that may be affected. After the inventory work, it was found that the virtualization environment was affected. The database, OS and backup system were not affected.

Then the institution started the recovery. Aurreum Data Protection Appliance once again demonstrated its convincing stability. Since the whole production system had just been backed up a few hours before the ransomware attack, the loss was almost negligible.
