How To Protect Your Git Repositories from Ransomware Attacks - GitProtect.io Academy
The threat of ransomware and other malicious software is one of the most menacing things in the IT world. The thought of losing all of your progress on a project should be a thing that makes you consider using a backup of your data.
But in business, you must not forget one thing – security. Yes, we have to protect our data. Each of our applications, each device, and each repository may be attacked by hackers. Well, even not ‘may’, but sooner or later it will be. So the question is not IF, but WHEN. It is worth considering whether we are prepared for this?
There are a lot of types of attacks, including popular DDoS, XSS, phishing, and more. This could be even an attack by regular email spam and waiting for the user to click on a malicious link. There are also aspects of social engineering here – how do you get a user to install malware himself? Especially if the hacker targets himself to attack someone who is tech-savvy. People working with GIT usually have some knowledge of the technology. Either way, regardless of the source of the attack, the effect for us can be terrible.
