Hackers Sweep Through And Destroys All Data From E-mail Provider VFEmail


It’s terrible news for VFEmail and its users. The e-mail provider has recently been the target of hacking attacks that had all of its data destroyed. All of the company’s data from its servers in the US were wiped clean. The recent attack not only is a huge blow for VFEmail, but for the information security of its users as well.

If you’re among the users of VFEmail, expect all your data is lost. Everything from your recent e-mails to archived information has been undermined. The company spokesman confirmed that all the disks on the servers were formatted and that no trace of data could be recovered. Backups were also wiped clean, leaving the information security Columbia of its users on the edge.

There were no signs of the hackers locking files and asking ransom. They went straight for the files and deleted everything, inflicting total damage. They were successful at it too. Despite efforts of the company in attempting to retrieve the lost data, things aren’t quite looking so good. And even if they do manage to recover some data, it won’t be enough to do a complete restoration. Users would end up with little to no data back after this incident.

The company’s main website is currently up and running. However, some of its other domains remain inactive. Users that try to login to their e-mail will be greeted with an empty account like it was newly created.

This hacking incident is not the first time the company experienced attacks. Back in late 2015, the company had a major DDoS attack where the hackers, Armada Collective, asked for ransom in exchange for stopping the attacks. However, this time, the hackers weren’t keen on gaining money but simply to wreak havoc.

The attacks on the company signifies the utter need for information and computer security within companies regardless of size.
