Ransomware
Also written as Ransomware Attack, Double Extortion
Malware that encrypts an organisation's files and demands payment for the key. Modern variants steal the data first and threaten to publish it, so paying does not end the problem.
Think of it like
Someone changes the locks on your warehouse and photographs the inventory on the way out.
Junior or senior?
Recovery experience matters far more than prevention theory.
Senior sounds like
Talks about tested backups and how long a restore actually took, in hours.
Ask them
“How long would it take to restore your systems from backups, and when was that last actually tested?”
