Hacker group used a method that we encountered for the first time. A super-intelligence who thinks they can only get paid by encrypting the config files instead of encrypting the VMDK disks where the data is kept. There is currently an encryption campaign targeting ESXi servers, which allows access to data on host systems (Service Location Protocol vulnerabilities). Many people reported that they were able to solve their problems with this method below.

In 2022, a lot of new variants of ransomware and groups (Ransomware as a Service) have targeted several major organizations and enterprises. New techniques (new features introduced by the notorious “LockBit” group, and a newcomer, “Play” that employs self-propagation techniques) and groups emerged as targeted ransomware attacks double in 2022. Today’s organizations, no matter their size, consist of many digital assets that power and enable businesses. These assets, including websites, information, data, and other forms of an online presence have become the fuel of modern businesses. And they all need to be protected.

Kerberos Authentication with Veeam v12. NTLM authentication is still mandatory for communication between all Veeam infrastructure servers in v11. However, NTLM authentication is still required for communication between Veeam backup infrastructure servers (backup server, backup proxies, backup repositories, guest interaction proxies, log shipping servers, and mount servers). NTLM was subject to several known security vulnerabilities related to password hashing and salting. Kerberos only will be supported with Veeam Backup & Replication version 12. Veeam B&R v12 will also allow using gMSA Accounts for application-aware processing. These two new features should help you to get better security for all service accounts.
