So far, the NameSouth archive is still freely available, which might indicate that the data has been accessed by a relatively small number of users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With that said, there is a high chance that sooner or later, the confidential company data may be used by bad actors for malicious purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For organizations that wish to avoid becoming victims of ransomware groups like NetWalker, here are a few basic precautions to have in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Establish an intelligent threat detection system.<\/li><li>Establish proactive layers based on cyber intelligence and deception<\/li><li>Use a salted secure encryption algorithm to encrypt your confidential data.
