Cyberattacks Nightmare for Canadian Tech Company
CybersecurityRansomwareDDoSDataLoss
A software engineer from a medium-sized Canadian tech company describes a challenging period of 2 to 3 years marked by relentless cyberattacks, including ransomware attempts, DDoS attacks, and remote code exploitation. Last September, a serious incident occurred when an attacker exploited an RCE vulnerability in a third-party logging library, encrypting a large portion of the company's internal data. Recovery took nearly 4 months, requiring the intervention of an additional cybersecurity firm, and resulted in the permanent loss of much data.
