Would you let Ransomware make you bankrupt?
As we’re all aware by now ransomware can cause some pretty hefty downtime and damage, and with that can cause further disruptions that you may never be able to recover from properly. Disruption to daily operations that your business conducts can cause a profit loss, or even worse you can find yourself having to file for bankruptcy like vodka maker Stoli Group’s US companies had to. That’s right, the biggest risk of ransomware isn’t losing your files or suffering minor outages, it’s losing your entire business.
While it might sound a bit extreme to file for bankruptcy thanks to a cyber attacker, it’s a very real consequence of ransomware that reminds us of the importance of having a third-party backup in place. The disruption caused great operational issues throughout all companies, leading to their internal processes (including accounting functions) being forced into manual entry mode.
Bleeping Computer, which reported on the ransomware attack were quoted saying that for the remaining part of the group not filing for bankruptcy that a full recovery would not be expected until early 2025. While it’s only the US companies of Stoli Group that have filed for bankruptcy, you can see the ransomware has had a clear knock-on effect that has spread throughout, leading to disruptions lasting into the new year.
