Danish cloud hosting company CloudNordic was recently hit by a devastating ransomware attack that wiped out the data of a majority of its customers. The attack is a reminder of the importance of cloud security, as cloud providers are increasingly becoming targets of ransomware attacks.

The attack on CloudNordic occurred on Friday, August 18, when the company was physically moving some servers from one data center to another. The company suspects that some of the servers it was moving contained a dormant malware infection. The infected servers were then hooked up to company networks that had access to all of CloudNordic's server infrastructure, giving the hackers access to both a central admin system and backup systems.

As a result of the attack, CloudNordic has lost access to all of its customer data, including email, websites and other IT services. The company has also had to start from scratch in rebuilding its IT systems.

CloudNordic has refused to pay the ransom demand of 6 bitcoins ($157,914). The company says that it does not believe that paying the ransom would guarantee the return of its customer data and that it does not want to set a precedent for future ransomware attacks.

The attack on CloudNordic is a reminder of the importance of cloud security. Cloud providers are increasingly becoming targets of ransomware attacks and businesses that rely on cloud services need to take steps to protect their data.

Here are some tips for cloud security:

• Back up your data regularly and offsite. This will help you recover your data in the event of a ransomware attack.

• Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication. This will help protect your accounts from unauthorized access.

• Keep your software up to date. Software updates often include security patches that can help protect you from known threats.

• Be aware of the latest cloud security threats. Stay up-to-date on the latest security threats so you can take steps to protect your data.

If you are a cloud provider, you can take steps to protect your customers' data by:

• Implementing strong security controls. This includes things like data encryption, access control, and intrusion detection.

• Educating your customers about cloud security best practices. Make sure your customers know how to protect their data in the cloud.

• Having a plan for responding to a ransomware attack. Know what you will do if your systems are infected with ransomware.
