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.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/there-are-many-ways-repel-ransomware-only-one-way-defeat-it/)

And if you heard about the TCR International series, you’d have probably heard about the Swedish WestCoast Racing Team. And if you heard about WestCoast Racing, you’d have heard about the driver Mikhail Grachev. And if you heard about Mikhail Grachev, you’d probably realize by now that he is one of the best drivers in the Series, with four victories already in his pocket this season.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/mikhail-grachev-data-winning-force-motor-racing/)

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.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/hidden-costs-backup-front-end-capacity/)

Daniel Martland does: it’s his job. Being a Trackside IT Engineer for Formula One racing team Scuderia Toro Rosso takes him to over 20 different countries every year.

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?](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/ransomware-itself-scary-ransomware-service-much-worse/)

Last week, we offered a high-level overview of the malware menace known as ransomware: what it’s like to be victimized by a ransomware attack (it’s no fun to discover that your hard drive has been encrypted by a malicious program), how the criminals extort money from businesses and consumers (if you don’t pay an online ransom, you never get your files back), and how big this illegal business has become (ransomware criminals will extort $1B from victims in 2016, says the FBI).](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/ransomware-bootleg-liquor-21st-century/)

Carlos Sainz of Scuderia Toro Rosso looks on as the race engineers prepare his STR11 for a practice session at the Singapore Grand Prix on September 16, 2016. (Getty Images / Red Bull Content Pool) I’ve been following F1 for more than 20 years. It started when I was in college back in the Nineties. Watching all-time great racers like Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher reach the stars of the F1 firmament made me admire their dedication and skill as well as the technology behind their cars. Being a geek myself, I began to dig deeper into the sport, trying to uncover what makes one team better than another on the track.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/what-does-data-protection-have-do-motorsport/)
