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.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/avaddon-ransomware/) [06 October 2020 — 1 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 7: Acronis SPLA partner program for MSP](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/18a373b02d45b7c3ed01a5efacfff718.png) Acronis Cyber Backup a Clear “Leader” in the G2 Crowd Review Quadrant for Server Backup Software Positioning by G2 Crowd is based on independent, authenticated user reviews and strictly prohibits paid placements of any sort.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/g2-review-server-backup-software/) [02 October 2020 — 8 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 8: Evasive Maze ransomware encrypts and steals terabytes of private data in targeted attacks](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/701297a7531d17743bf6f7c5f50e97c8.png) Evasive Maze ransomware encrypts and steals terabytes of private data in targeted attacks Maze ransomware has been seen executing targeted attacks since at least May 2019 and was supposedly responsible for the attack on Canon on July 30, 2020, resulting in the outage of the image canon cloud storage service.
