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.
