A coordinated attack against the Perth-based company deleted all but 12 percent of the client data stored on its cPanel administrative server. As a company that not only designs websites but acts as an in-house IT department and online marketing advisor to its business customers, the attack’s speed and sophistication is a reminder that even the savviest technology companies are at risk. Thankfully, you have more control over your information than you realize.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/cyanweb-solutions-taken-down-online-attack/)

Its plot centers on a “devastating stealth wiper virus” called Dark Ages, likely a nod to recent real-world ransomware outbreaks. But this is entertainment, not a serious work of scholarship. If you are worrying about a cyberattack that can only be stopped by a superhero, you hopefully are reclined and sipping a piña colada, not thinking about actual IT security strategy.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/summer-reading-list-president-missing/)

As the biggest soccer tournament of 2018 amps up soccer fans around the world, few are probably thinking about AI’s impact on the games – yet these cutting-edge technologies are also transforming how we play, watch, and predict sports. Let’s take a look at how these technological innovations are helping to reshape the world of international soccer, and where else they’re acting as game changers.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/artificial-intelligences-role-soccers-biggest-stage/)

Yet despite the multiple areas of concern covered during the summit, there’s one security topic that wasn’t addressed by either side – cyber warfare. In fact, just three days after the summit, North Korea was again accused of launching a new attack as the Typeframe malware strain was uncovered. Given our role as a global leader in cyber protection, Acronis was hopeful that the negotiations would address these concerns. The experts at Acronis’ Singaporean Security Research Centre consider cyber warfare an unfortunate omission from these talks.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/cyber-warfare-threat-trump-and-kim-overlooked/)

Also included was a USB-powered fan to help cool the reporters down while they typed their stories in the sweltering heat of Singapore.
