According to the article [Cerber ransomware targets Microsoft Office 365 users](http://timehosting.cz/cerber-ransomware-cili-na-uzivatele-microsoft-office-365/), this is Cerber ransomware, whose creators massively exploited a newly discovered zero-day vulnerability in MS Office 365 security. This allowed them to bypass protection against dangerous macros. The attack took the form of a massive spam campaign with text urging recipients to open an attachment under the pretext that it was a payment request, invoice, or the result of an important analysis. Today, SMB companies are probably the most vulnerable group when it comes to data loss and malware attacks, because they are unable to provide adequate protection for all their servers, endpoints (including mobile phones), and cloud applications and services such as Microsoft Azure and Office 365. Acronis now enables service providers to meet new data protection requirements with the latest version of Acronis Backup Cloud. Whether it is a lost mobile phone, an insufficiently protected cloud application, or a ransomware attack, small and medium-sized businesses face a major risk of losing critical data. Service and hosting providers now have a great opportunity to offer complementary services and immediately reach a huge market through Acronis Backup Cloud. Acronis Backup Cloud can be easily integrated with all popular platforms used by service and hosting providers, such as Linux, Virtuozzo, Azure, Docker, Open-Xchange, XEN Server, and KVM. The solution also backs up data and virtual machines across a wide range of customer environments, including Microsoft, Amazon EC2, Windows and Office365, Linux, Mac, VMware, Hyper-V, RHEV, XEN, Oracle VM, Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, Active Directory, iOS, and Android.
