Great post 💡 from Ciaran Martin about the British Library ransomware recovery
My takeaways from this situation in general:
- 🥊 anyone can be attacked, anyone can be compromised, defence in depth helps, but nobody is immune - so let's not judge too harshly
- 📼 your recovery is only as good as your backups - you must test these thoroughly or you won't know if they're enough until it's too late
- 📚 public institutions like the British Library won't have the multiple experts or architects to design the systems, discover the gaps and run the tests that multinationals do - this all needs to be made simpler
- ☠ lack of rule of law in key countries, combined with deep technical criminal expertise, means that there isn't a political or legal solution to this - recovery is the only way out of being held to ransom by cyber buccaneers
