Avaddon ransomware cleans the bin for you
Avaddon is a new Maze-like ransomware that not only encrypts the user’s data but also steals it and threatens to make it public. To do that, the Avaddon operator recently launched their own data leak site, where they have already published data from Liberty Linehaul and U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc. What makes this ransomware unique is the way it tries to delete backups. In addition to traditional removal of shadow copies of the user’s files, Avaddon also deletes system backups, disables automatic repair and recovery, and cleans the bin. To do that, it escalates privileges with UAC bypassing through CMSTPLUA COM interface exploitation.

Antimalware Scans of Backups: Creating More Security Without Harming Performance or Usability
Backup and antimalware are two essentials parts of the typical endpoint security posture. While scanning for malware is usually performed before backing up, it is still possible for malware to make its way to a backup image – either because the detection capabilities of the average antimalware solution are lacking or the backup was created before doing an antimalware scan.

5nine is Now Part of the Acronis Ecosystem
5nine Software, Inc. was acquired by Acronis in December 2019. All your favorite 5nine software products are still available and, other than having been rebranded, remain the same. If you’ve been using (or selling) 5nine Cloud Manager, 5nine Cloud Migration, or 5nine Cloud Security – for Hyper-V and for Azure – your software continues to be supported and your existing licenses are still valid. The only changes are that 5nine Cloud Manager Free is now found on the Acronis Cloud Manager free trial page, and instead of contacting 5nine Support when you need assistance you’ll contact Acronis Support. Unfortunately, if you had a 5nine login, you will need to create a new Acronis account, but the process is quick and easy.

Everybody is vulnerable to those itchy nasties
Business continuity. The two words we strive to uphold, manage, and withstand through any crisis. But surprisingly, not every business has a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) or even a Business Continuity Management (BCM) system in place. Risk has become obsolete to them – like a mosquito, they just deal with them as and when they appear rather than putting measures in place to evade being bitten before they even have time to hatch!
