The incident is part of a broader trend of cybercriminals targeting large organizations with ransomware attacks and demanding payment to restore access. Data diodes and physical isolation as last-resort protectionHyperBUNKER, a Zagreb-based spinoff of InfoLAB, promotes its diode-based offline vault as a safeguard against such breaches. This system writes backups using data diode technology, a method that creates a strictly one-way “data-in” channel. This idea, familiar in nuclear facilities and military installations, has rarely been seen in everyday enterprise data protection. Businesses weighing this approach must consider whether the costs, logistics, and potential for physical theft outweigh the protection offered.
