Photos, Videos, and Contacts: How Valuable Is Your Mobile’s Data?
Just like millions of other people, my wife uses her mobile phone for almost everything – to keep track of important activities, search for babysitters, look up tutors for our daughters, order food, mobile banking, paying bills and much more. Mobile phones are great – they save a lot of time. But most of us store data on our phones without even considering what might happen if they’re lost. Just pause for a moment and think: does your phone have the only copy of your photos, contacts, and other important info? Will you be able to recover it if you lose your phone? We’ve learnt our lesson a difficult way.

Hyper-V Story of Bill, Ted, and Matthew
Our story began many months ago, in a small, but very techy town on the eastern coast of Florida. The small office building couple of blocks from the beach was home to two young, small, but promising companies – let’s call them Bee Business Solutions and Tee Technologies. Both companies had an IT team of one – Bill handled Bee’s systems, and Ted worked in Tee. Needless to say, they were best buddies. Almost at the same time, they realized that their companies have run out of server capacity, as they needed to run more data workloads. But they didn’t have the budget to buy more servers. So, they decided to use Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization technology on old servers instead.

There Are Many Ways to Repel Ransomware, Only One Way to Defeat It
In our continuing series on the new malware menace known as ransomware, we’ve looked what it’s like to suffer a ransomware attack, why it’s become a weapon of choice for online criminals (they’re making gobs of money off it), and why it has grown so quickly (hackers are copying the SaaS industry’s highly-leveraged distribution model). Given how likely it is that you or someone you know will get hit by a ransomware attack in the coming months, now might be a good time to shore up your anti-ransomware defenses.

Two weeks ago we heard reports of an author who risked his life sneaking past the firefighters into a burning house to save his laptop. It had the only copy of his latest novel. “When I heard my house was on fire,” Gideon Hodge said, “I ran up to the perimeter set by the firefighters, then walked calmly until I saw an opening that no one was watching. That was when I bolted for it!”

Hidden Costs Of Backup: Front-End Capacity
We are all too familiar with the concept of hidden costs. You work with suppliers and/or vendors, and it looks like their published pricing matches your expectations. That is until you get their quote (or worse, the invoice), and you see a very different figure. What happened? There were fees, charges or the licensing models that you have not taken into account. It could happen in every aspect of your life and work, and backup solutions are no different. Let’s talk about potential hidden costs you need to be aware of.

Ransomware by Itself Is Scary. Ransomware-As-A-Service Is Much Worse
Ransomware gangsters steal a page from the legit software industry’s distribution playbook Ransomware has emerged as the most prolific new malware threat of the 21st century, with online criminals expecting to reap a billion dollars from victims from it in 2016. We have talked here about how ransomware works (it infects your PC, server or phone, encrypts your files, and demands an online payment in return for the decryption key) and why so many criminals are getting into the ransomware business (it’s an extremely profitable racket). We expect the ransomware epidemic to continue to mushroom in size, becoming a multi-billion dollar business in 2017, making it inevitable that you or someone you know has to pay a hefty ransom or lose their files forever. How is this crooked business growing so quickly, despite the efforts of law enforcement and the IT security industry to thwart it?
