Ransomware, the worst morning

A ten person manufacturing business, one clicked invoice, and a Monday that does not go the way anybody planned. Then the same Monday, with detection running.

Illustrative scenario. This walkthrough is a composite built from attack patterns LANTEK sees in South African businesses. It does not depict a real client, and the names, figures and organisations in it are invented.

A backup nobody has restored is not a backup.

The question is never when did the backup last run. It is when did somebody last restore from it. A backup job can report success every night for a year while quietly writing files that cannot be read back.

Nobody discovers an unusable backup on an ordinary Tuesday. They discover it on the worst day of the year, which is the only day it matters and the only day it is too late to do anything about.

Keep going

01 The compromised vendor A real invoice, from a real supplier, from their real email account. With new banking details. Held before delivery → 02 The session hijack A normal login on normal WiFi, and someone sitting quietly in the middle of it. Caught in minutes → 03 The night nobody was watching One mailbox, five client businesses, one long weekend. The damage was not to them. Five clients, one mailbox →
