Last time our parent company got hacked, it took them a whole month before they got back to normal. A few days after they got back to normal, a guys from our parts department opened an old email from them and we got infected.
The parent company got worried about us, but we get attacked about 3 time per year with ramsonware, and backups are done weekly. They were very impressed by the speed of our recovery. 3 days was all it took to go back to normal.
Wow. A month? That's some serious damage. After getting the computer up there were still bugs to work out?
The parent company is kinda new and it was the first time they had to deal with this. They splitted from the main US head office a year ago to better serve us in Canada. They were baffled about all of it to be honest and I think it's recovering all their data that took them a long time.
