This week VFEmail.net suffered a terrifying attack, its services reported that all their data had been deleted, including their server backups and data… Everything deleted, así, just like that.
Este proveedor de correo seguro ha perdido toda su información y sus copias de seguridad después de que unos ciber-delincuentes destruyeran toda su infraestructura en Estados Unidos, en cuestión de unas horas.
Esta empresa se fundó en 2001 y proporcionaba un servicio de correo privatizado a empresas y a particulares, sus servicios eran gratuitos aunque también tenían versiones de pago, las cuales ofrecían mejoras de rendimiento.
En el momento en el cual descubrieron este catastrófico ataque, the 11 de febrero, los técnicos ya no podían hacer nada para revertir los daños causados, ya que todos sus servidores se desconectaron sin previo aviso y el borrado sea definitivo.
Cuando los atancantes fueron atrapados, they were already deleting the remnants of the backup servers and the company tried to recover what little was left. Within minutes it reported that every single one of its server drives had been erased, including also the mail hosts, both physical and virtual, and the SQL clusters.
Although not all of their virtual machines shared the login credentials, all were completely destroyed.
Although it is not clear who the attacker was, or how the attack was carried out, a statement published on their website, pointed to an IP and the username “aktv”, which apparently is registered in Bulgaria
The website has been restored, but if you are a user of this service, don't expect to see your data where you had it, porque ya no existen.
