I get the concept that some are concerned that someone could ransomeware a Virtual Tape Library.
(If you send me an email asking me if I know of any ransomware attacks against what I'm using and that I should be using yours instead that will be an automatic blacklisting of your email address. Seriously, I'm tired of it.)

Does anyone know of any VTL's attacked by ransomware? I'm currently using EMC Data Domain 2500's and I do not know of any.

There's talk of putting them on their own vlan. Restricting by IP address, MAC address, etc. Things which will make it oh so much difficult to access them. Am I working from my desk? Lan or wifi? Home via VPN? Data center A? Data center B? What about the remote consultants who help with them, and typically use their VPN? Got a new PC, didn't think about the new mac address vs the VTL, which you rarely connect to and now you're in crisis mode? Let me contact the consultants and see if they can find someone to get you configured.
