It’s exactly the kind of disaster that BA could have avoided had it heeded our advice early last year: “Get moving fast to improve cyber protection and privacy for your customers’ sensitive data.

But in the modern world, data is so critical that many businesses are working to reduce RTOs even further, and with good reason. Today a business that doesn’t have access to its data can lose $100,000 every hour, in addition to the potentially huge costs of recovering that data.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/3-steps-restore-your-server-mere-minutes/) [24 June 2019 — 3 min read ![Image 9: Ransomware Attack Costs $1.5 Million in Riviera Beach, FL](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/e44479aa9902652a121944102811a7bd.png) Ransomware Attack Costs $1.5 Million in Riviera Beach, FL The city of Riviera Beach, Florida made news recently when it announced it was paying approximately $600,000 in ransom to undo a ransomware attack it suffered in late May.

They recently announced they were retiring thanks to the money they’ve made encrypting victims’ computers. At the beginning of June, operators of the notorious GandCrab strain of ransomware announced that “all good things come to an end” and they are ceasing their operations.
