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.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/hyper-v-story-bill-ted-and-matthew/)

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/)

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/)

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/)
