A new report on hackers shows what the thriving black market for stolen data is promoting as top offers: Cryptocurrencies are particularly popular with criminals, as well as data from web browsers such as credit card numbers and access data, which were mostly stolen via infostealers.

This is probably also the case with Boeing, which was hacked by LockBit at the end of October 2023, the data was encrypted using ransomware and stolen.

Once relegated to obsolescence, tape now offers very high and, above all, cost-effective capacity for cold or archival data. What is less known is that tape is also one of the most secure storage solutions for backing up and restoring data. Because tape basically has the advantage over other storage media, such as...
