A degraded RAID is a warning sign that should never be ignored. Although the server may still remain powered on and the files may still appear to be accessible, the array’s protection structure has already been compromised.

A RAID rebuild is often seen as a quick solution when a disk fails in a server, storage system, or NAS. In many environments, the first reaction is to replace the faulty disk and start rebuilding the array as quickly as possible.

A financial company in Kenya faced a severe ransomware incident that compromised its VMware virtual environment and paralyzed its operations for one week. The attack affected a volume exceeding 10 TB of critical data and created an extremely high-pressure situation for the client, who needed to restore business continuity as quickly as possible. The group responsible for the attack was
Data loss on magnetic tapes remains a recurring problem in companies that use backup solutions such as Backup Exec, Arcserve, Veeam and Micro Focus Data Protector. Although these software solutions are widely used in corporate environments, failures in the media, the drive, the backup catalog or the original environment itself can prevent data restoration. In many cases, the tape still
LockBit 5.0 is the latest evolution of one of the most aggressive and highly professionalised ransomware families in the world. Operated by the criminal group LockBit, this ransomware is known for highly targeted attacks, rapid execution, and strong encryption capabilities, causing a complete shutdown of operations for affected organisations. Unlike simpler variants, LockBit 5.0 uses an extremely mature Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS)
