Blackbaud claimed that the May 2020 ransomware infection was caught at an early stage, and that the file encryption process was halted before being fully completing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After discovering the attack, our Cyber Security team \u2013 together with independent forensics experts and law enforcement \u2013 successfully prevented the cybercriminal from blocking our system access and fully encrypting files; and ultimately expelled them from our system,&#8221; said Blackbaud. For reasons it did not explain, it then paid the criminals to recover its data.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Prior to our locking the cybercriminal out, the cybercriminal removed a copy of a subset of data from our self-hosted environment,&#8221; Blackbaud said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2015\/07\/13\/lock_98745985764.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"citrix\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Says third party holding some business contact information has had trouble but its own infrastructure remains safe\">Citrix denies dark web claim of network compromise and ransomware attack<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/07\/15\/citrix_denies_new_network_compromise\/\"><span>READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;The cybercriminal did not access credit card information, bank account information, or social security numbers.

Regular, easily restored offline backups are one of the main mitigations against ransomware attacks, along with security scans and monitoring of network activity. As more and more organizations follow this advice, these malware crooks have turned to exfiltrating files from infected networks to further pressure people into caving to the extortionists&#8217; demands: pay up, or your confidential information is leaked or sold online.<\/p>\n<p>In an unsigned email responding to <i>The Register<\/i>&#8216;s inquiries, Blackbaud would only refer us to an <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blackbaud.com\/securityincident\">advisory<\/a> on its website about the intrusion, though whoever sent the email insisted the timing of its announcement to customers and the public, as miscreants <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/07\/17\/twitter_blue_tick_hack_latest\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hijacked<\/a> celebrity and corporate accounts on Twitter, was a coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>Some customers went on to contact <i>The Register<\/i> to express concern that they were only being informed about the theft of their data two months after the thief had been paid off.<\/p>\n<p>Paying ransoms to cybercrims goes against UK government advice: no ransom; no reward; no sustainable business model, is the thinking.
