Case Study: Gigabit Geek Recovers from Devastating Ransomware with Intermedia SecuriSync

Gigabit Geek Circumvents Ransomware Devastation with SecuriSync® By Intermedia

Gigabit Geek, an IT consultancy serving clients from single-person businesses to large corporations, suffered a widespread CryptoWall ransomware attack that encrypted about 90% of its files by propagating through synced folders. The infection affected multiple offices and users, forcing manual restores of 2–3 TB of data and causing extended downtime while the team worked to recover.

Using SecuriSync by Intermedia (Backup and File Sharing) and Intermedia’s support, Gigabit Geek was able to perform rapid, versioned restores that simplified and accelerated recovery. What began as a major data-loss incident was restored quickly enough that the company called the experience “one of the easiest restores” they’d had, turning a potential catastrophe into a manageable inconvenience.
