    Nice, another bunch of assholes out of business. Just one question: why the fk did they not have backups? They weren’t just wee little hateful bastards but stoopid on top too?

      As someone who deals with this sort of thing, for ransomware and other destructive intrusions, the first thing they go for is the backups themselves.

      Companies that have an second backup copy that is seperate somehow so non-lateral movement isn’t possible are the ones that survive this level of breach.

      Or they could just be stupid (cheap) and didn’t have any lol

    How are these companies able to operate in broad daylight in the EU of all places? I mean the name itself is saying out loud what they do.

      All law enforcement and regulatory bodies have their plates full non-stop in this Wild West world we live in now. At any moment for every criminal that’s caught a hundred get away with something.

        No its more for secretly spying on a partner you suspect of cheating or child’s phone activity. I think you need to get ahold of the device in question and have it unlocked to install this. Still very unethical obviously
