"CloudNordic has told customers to consider all of their data lost following a ransomware infection that encrypted the large Danish cloud provider's servers and "paralyzed CloudNordic completely," according to the IT outfit's online confession.

"The intrusion happened in the early-morning hours of August 18 during which miscreants shut down all of CloudNordic's systems, wiping both company and customers' websites and email systems. Since then, the IT team and third-party responders have been working to restore punters' data — but as of Tuesday, it's not looking great."

@briankrebs I guess neither CloudNordic or their customers believe in offsite backups.

@MaybeMyMonkeys @briankrebs My guess is that they have backups which are now encrypted or wiped as well, because the backups are accessible from the servers that are being backed up.

@not2b @MaybeMyMonkeys @briankrebs so I guess no one does regular physical offline backups anymore?

@MaybeMyMonkeys @briankrebs They apparently did have backups. On servers that were presumably on the same network and which were also hit. So backups, but not really…
