[QUOTE="upnorth, post: 849692, member: 38832"] The key factor was in this case, that MS can't take credit for even if they would love to is how Hydro themselves with retired employees that literally used paper and pen was able to keep the production running. That was the real genuine backup that saved Hydro, not specific MS. A bit funny IMO is that in the video from Hydro MS ain't mentioned once but, Facebook and Whatsapp is. Guess Mark is very proud. :giggle::coffee: I understand your point and can even somewhat agree but, IMO Hydro did the correct thing and involved a professional part of helping them re-build their IT infrastructure. One can always argue that some other part would have been better but, no matter who that will always cost something and it would probably been cheaper just pay off the hackers. The problem then, is the risk of getting hit over and over again and also help send the message that it's actually is no problem for hackers. Therein lays I can guess a part of the general problem in the US and it's infrastructure and especially the use of insurances as a mean of quick fix to pay the ransomware. I even saw [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/new-orleans-suffers-ransomware-attack-emergency-services-intact.96983/#post-849632']the mayor[/URL] of New Orleans very recently in a news video almost proud state the implementation of insurance. She did get a follow up question from a reporter about it, but never fully explained what it actually means and I'm pretty sure most citizens aren't aware. [/QUOTE]
