Comment on Merck’s NotPetya attack: Was it an act of war?

Comments

One researcher told a colleague she’d lost 15 years of work.

You're telling me that you had never backed up anything in the span of 15 years?

This happens far more often than it should. Non-experts simply don't realise the importance of backups.

It could be that the backups were "online" and therefore also wiped out by the malware.
