Network server hacked

[BigMike]

We're still not at 100% and the services that are up and running are running in a temporary mode. Apparently, our whole network system is being rebuilt from scratch.

Either someone dropped the ball on preparedness and disaster recovery or some bean counter/higher up in management axed the plan and budget for it.

DR/BC plans are a lot of work and who really needs one - until you need one.  It's like having a great "pull-out" technique until she gets knocked up.

So it sounds like y'all didn't end up paying?

Nope and yesterday my Identity Guard found 5 hits on the dark web of my work email address and possible password. As soon as all of this happened I had already changed my work password and all of mine and my wife's personal passwords lol.

I'll go with the latter, and I bet their bonuses were good for the last few years   Now they'll just fire the CTO/CIO (probably don't have a CSO/CISO) and reduce costs elsewhere to pay for the recovery. 

I'm cynical when it comes to CFO/CEO funding pro-active protections versus beating financial targets.

Surprised @BigPrince hasn't weighed in here.  BTW, WhereTF has he been?

He chimed in at the beginning.

We just now got our network server back up and running. Now I'm just waiting for my Outlook to be restored!

Wow, they really got you guys good! What pieces of shit

Glad y'all got it back up and running. My company got hit with it before I worked here (2015). We wound up paying cause there were 20 years or so worth of AutoCAD files we didn't have properly backed up.
