In this episode of The Backup Wrap-up that proves Curtis right :) we look into the shocking case of a rogue administrator who held an entire company's IT infrastructure hostage. We explore how Daniel Rhyne, a core infrastructure engineer, managed to lock out his colleagues and demand a $750,000 ransom. This real-world example highlights the critical importance of safeguarding against insider threats.
We look into practical strategies to prevent such incidents, including implementing least privilege access, enforcing "four eyes" principles for critical changes, and maintaining robust logging and auditing systems. The discussion also covers recovery options and the vital role of off-site immutable backups in mitigating damage from rogue administrators. Whether you're an IT professional or business leader, this episode provides essential insights into protecting your organization from the potentially devastating actions of trusted insiders gone rogue.
