Nothing works anymore: Before Christmas, a well-known company was shut down by hackers from the infamous “Black Cat” group. But within two days, the company managed to free itself from the clutches of the blackmailers – without losing any data or money. Their secret of success could help many victims of cybercriminals.
The “black cat” has controlled Carinthia since April last year: at that time professional hackers probably smuggled a so-called trojan into the entire state’s computer system via an e-mail at a primary school. As is well known, it took months for all applications to run again because the backup data was also compromised. Governor Peter Kaiser had protested that he had failed to meet the ransom demands of the extortionists of $5 million in bitcoins. That is why the criminals started looking for new victims.
