Data security is a primary concern in any digital environment, and Microsoft Access, as a widely used database management tool, is not immune to cyber threats. One of the most damaging forms of attack is ransomware, a type of malware that encrypts a system’s data and demands a ransom to restore access. When Microsoft Access is compromised by ransomware, the
VIB (Virtual Instrumentation Bean) files are crucial components in development and testing environments, commonly used in automation and monitoring systems. When these files are compromised by ransomware, the encryption jeopardises the functionality and confidentiality of the stored data. Ransomware encryption of VIB files implies the irreversible transformation of data, making it inaccessible without the correct decryption key. This scenario creates
A ZIP file is an archive format commonly used to compress and group one or more files or folders into a single archive. The main aim of ZIP compression is to reduce the size of data, making it easier to transfer and store information efficiently. The name “ZIP” refers to the compression format developed by Phil Katz, which was implemented
Ransomware attacks on databases have become an increasingly imminent threat, putting the integrity and confidentiality of crucial information stored by organisations at risk. It is important to understand the challenges associated with these attacks and to highlight emerging technologies for decrypting databases in order to restore normality and protect sensitive data. Ransomware attacks on databases have become an increasingly imminent
Removing ransomware from an infected system requires in-depth knowledge of both the ransomware and the device and files that have been encrypted. Before discussing how to remove ransomware, it is necessary to understand the complexity of this malware and how it works. Ransomware has been developed with a very well-established objective: to encrypt files, that is its basic purpose. The
Virus, as it is commonly known, is a term used to describe malware. Malware, or a virus, is a programme designed to compromise the integrity of stored data, but not only that, there are numerous purposes for a virus to be developed. In this article we’re going to focus solely on file viruses, the most common types of viruses that
A group that has remained in the shadows of the giants of ransomware attacks, but which has now shown itself to be a well-structured and accurate attacker, the Akira ransomware. The group was first spotted in March 2023 and since then it has been constantly attacking, but unlike the big ransomware, Akira has focused its attacks on medium-sized and small
In a highly digitised age like the one we live in, data storage and retrieval have become crucial components of our daily lives. Practically all of our digital information is stored on storage devices. To measure this, just try to remember how much basic information you don’t know by heart, such as: document numbers, addresses, contacts, etc. Today, information is
Fifty-eight years ago, when it measured 14×8 inches, the hard disc, popularly known as HD, bore the responsibility of storing all the information in a system. That’s why, rather than having a super video card, a powerful processor or a lot of memory space, you need to invest in a good hard drive to safely store these resources. The hard
Data loss is inevitable for any data storage device, yet while companies work to minimise this possibility as much as possible, it cannot be completely resolved However, it is important to know that the security of the storage itself is not simply based on its system or hardware, but also on which network it is installed. Because if the network
