> Besides that: what happened to offline backups? How exactly are hackers coming for cloned, unplugged, HDDs/SSDs stored on shelves / bank safes? (I know several companies doing just that as offline backups)
I've heard, though I have no way to verify this, that some ransomware gets installed and just writes copies of itself for a while before really activating. The copies get backed up, and if you restore from backup you restore them and they get activated.
