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.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/avaddon-ransomware/)

It’s no exaggeration to say that digital disruption has reshaped and reinvented nearly every major industry over the last couple of decades. From finance to healthcare, from manufacturing to transportation — the modern world is more dependent than ever on data. Naturally, safeguarding that data — and the organizations that rely on it — is absolutely vital. Now in its 17th year, National Cybersecurity Awareness Month is an initiative led by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, intended to raise awareness about cyberthreats and the strategies we can take to protect our systems and sensitive data. October 2020 also marks the ninth year of European Cybersecurity Month — the European Union’s annual campaign dedicated to promoting cybersecurity and sharing best practices around the topic of staying protected online.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/how-are-you-celebrating-cybersecurity-awareness-month/)
