Cyber Attacks Remain the #1 Cause of Downtime for Business in 2024 Reveals Veeam Data Protection Report 2024

“Ransomware continues to be the biggest threat to business continuity,” said Dave Russell, VP of Enterprise Strategy at Veeam.

“It’s the number one cause of outages today, and protecting against it is hampering digital transformation efforts.

Furthermore, although companies are increasing their spend on protection, less than a third of companies believe they can recover quickly from a small attack.

The findings in this year’s Veeam Data Protection Trends Report highlight the need for continued cyber vigilance, and the importance of every organization to ensure they have the right protection and recovery capabilities. It’s why Veeam’s mission in 2024 is to keep businesses running.”

MFA Spamming and Fatigue: When Security Measures Go Wrong

MFA spamming refers to the malicious act of inundating a target user's email, phone, or other registered devices with numerous MFA prompts or confirmation codes.

The objective behind this tactic is to overwhelm the user with notifications, in the hopes that they will inadvertently approve an unauthorized login.

To execute this attack, hackers require the target victim's account credentials (username and password) to initiate the login process and trigger the MFA notifications.
