Security News > 2023 > October > The dangers of dual ransomware attacks
The FBI has recently warned about dual ransomware attacks, a new trend that involves criminals carrying out two or more attacks in close proximity to each other.
The time between attacks ranges from 48 hours to a maximum of ten days.
The attackers are using two different ransomware variants against their targets.
Two ransomware attacks in such a short period drive up damage and associated costs and can drive companies to the brink of their existence.
Modern data security and management platforms can deliver these snapshots into the isolated environment, hardened against external attacks thanks to vaulting, immutable storage, multi-factor authentication and encryption.
The data management system orchestrates the rapid standing up of the communications, collaboration, authentication, and digital forensics and incident response tooling needed to run the cleanroom, ensuring even if these systems have been impacted by the event response actions can start within minutes of the event.
