Cyber Cаse Scenаriо - Rаnsоmware and File System Miscоnfiguration In 2020–2021, a mid-sized manufacturing company experienced a ransomware attack that encrypted thousands of files stored on its internal file server. The organization relied on a Windows Server system using the NTFS file system to store shared documents, financial records, and engineering files accessed by employees across multiple departments. The attack began when an employee opened a malicious email attachment that executed ransomware on their workstation. While the initial infection occurred on a single system, the ransomware quickly accessed shared folders on the file server. Because the shared directories were configured with overly permissive NTFS permissions, the malware was able to read, modify, and encrypt files belonging to multiple users. The file system played a central role in the attack’s impact. NTFS metadata, such as file ownership and permissions, allowed the ransomware to identify which files could be altered. Since many users had unnecessary write access to shared folders, the ransomware was able to encrypt large portions of the organization’s data. In addition, unencrypted backups stored on the same file system were also compromised. Although NTFS includes security features such as file permissions, journaling, and encryption, these protections were not fully utilized. The organization had not enabled Encrypting File System (EFS) or implemented strict access controls based on the principle of least privilege. While journaling helped maintain file system integrity, it could not prevent the encryption of files by a process that appeared authorized. Recovery was slow and costly. The company had to rebuild systems, restore data from offline backups, and redesign its file structure. As part of remediation, administrators reorganized shared folders, restricted permissions, enabled encryption for sensitive data, and implemented stronger monitoring of file system activity. This incident demonstrates that file systems are critical security components, not just storage mechanisms. Weak file permissions, poor access control, and inadequate backup strategies can allow malware to cause widespread damage. Understanding file systems, metadata, permissions, and encryption is essential for protecting data and maintaining system security.
