Frozen Food Giant Melts Under Attack

The unfortunate employees of Japanese frozen food giant Nichirei had to abruptly disconnect their systems on July thirteen to contain a disruptive cyberattack. They are now left with the joy of slowly and painfully restoring their operations piece by piece. To protect our own networks from having to go completely cold, we must ensure we have robust offline backups and actual incident response plans ready. Because hope is not a configuration setting, even if management thinks it is. I do hope their backup tapes aren't as frozen as their peas.
