Finnish Firms Frozen: Akira Ransomware Blitz Wipes Backups, Targets Cisco VPN Flaws

Finland’s cyber watchdog barks a warning: Akira ransomware’s on the prowl, devouring backups like hotcakes and leaving businesses in a frosty pickle. Remember, folks, 3-2-1 your data or pay the digital Vikings their ransom gold! #CyberSnowstorm #BackupBlues

Hot Take:

Looks like the Grinch had a side hustle this December in Finland, and it wasn't just stealing Christmas lights but also backup data. The Akira ransomware gang has been playing the role of digital Scrooge, wiping backups faster than you can say "bah humbug." If your backups are as open as a holiday buffet, Akira's coming to dinner, and they're bringing their appetite for destruction. It's time to go old school with those backups, folks—think underground bunkers, not cloud storage.
