The Power Cut
Denmark2017
In June 2017 the Danish shipping company Maersk was hit by the NotPetya virus, which erased everything it touched. Almost all the important servers holding the list of accounts were wiped in a short time. One was left, at an office in Ghana, because the power had gone out there. That made it possible to rebuild the network. The company estimated the damage at 250 to 300 million dollars. The characters in this puzzle are made up. The attack is real.
What can you learn?
Without that bit of luck, everything would have been gone. So always keep a copy of what matters in a place that is not connected to your computer or the internet. Think of your photos and schoolwork.
This does not give away who the weak link in the puzzle is: the characters are made up.
