The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

I am not aware of one but that absolutely doesn't mean there have been none.
With all the VTL's out there by different vendors the attack vectors are
different. Some vendors work VERY hard to assure there are no SMB, NFS,
FTP or other methods of attack while others actively use those in their
configurations.
Some let you log in and be root on the VTL and others don't allow you
access to a command line at all.
I would hazard a guess that some VTL data HAS been ransomed at some
point just due to the sheer number of attacks out there and number of
devices out there.
Point being: Do Not Assume that your VTL is immune to a ransomware attack!

I guess the only reason to leave them in there are for those who already have VTL's duplicating between data centers and duplicate to physical tapes as an 'air gap' in case some ransomware figures out how to attack your VTL.
Has there ever been a documented successful ransomware attack on VTL?
