And I agree too.  I have heard of bad actors having access to a large company's system and doing nothing for 2 years.  That's a crazy long time to wait.  But I think #1) That's the longest I've ever heard.  #2) If you backup nightly on 30 different hard drives, with the testing you describe above, you should detect them in that time easily and be ready to reset your computers and upload to the right back up.  Ceasars kind of had to do that anyway.  They had to pay, back up an infected system, find the ransomware and remove it, and then upload it.  That's a lot of pressure.  And if you're whole company is accounting software which is what CDK is, then you have to be back up in 4 hours.  Put that together with lot's of education, the multifactor, and even for password resets, a buddy system I think it's worth it.  My kids school was hit last month.  Highschool.  Pay $2 million or all the kids transcripts, every class, grade, picture, in school history gone.   Of course they paid.  But how many more wake up calls are needed?
