The blog that reveals the technological secrets behind data recovery.
A weak password exposes your accounts, identity, and finances to cyberattacks in seconds. This practical guide explains exactly how to create memorable and unbreakable passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and adopt sustainable digital hygiene — without being a computer expert.
Bexxo is the new proactive and preventative cybersecurity entity from SOS Data Recovery, specializing in security audits, vulnerability testing, and anti-phishing training. Building on SOS Data Recovery's proven expertise in security circumvention and encrypted data recovery, Bexxo offers IT providers a strategic complement with no direct competition—covering the entire data lifecycle, from prevention to recovery.
Phishing is the attack technique behind more than 90% of cyber incidents in companies (Verizon DBIR, 2024). Every day, thousands of Swiss and European organizations are targeted by fraudulent emails aimed at stealing credentials, financial data, or deploying malware. Technical solutions alone—anti-spam, firewalls—are no longer sufficient against increasingly targeted attacks. PhishTrainer transforms your employees into the first line of defense with ultra-realistic phishing simulations, designed and hosted exclusively in Switzerland, in compliance with the Swiss legal framework on data protection.
A RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) system is a storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disks (SATA, SCSI, SAS, or SSD) into a single logical volume, simultaneously providing data protection and performance optimization. It is one of the most cost-effective solutions for securing your data in a professional or home environment.
Depending on the RAID level chosen, this technology allows you to tolerate the failure of one or more disks without data loss. The most common levels—RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 6—meet different needs in terms of capacity, speed, and redundancy.
Key point: A RAID system does not replace a backup. It protects against hardware failure, but not against accidental deletion, ransomware, or physical disasters.
A 32 GB memory, that is over 256 billion bits of information stored in 1 cm², thanks to electrons trapped in a 'grid'.
In order to fraudulently obtain over one billion dollars in 2016, hackers did not hesitate to flood the world with infected emails. More than 40% of global spam contains a ransomware.
The precision of a read head is comparable to that of a Boeing 747 flying at 272 km per second, less than a centimeter above the ground, while being able to count every single blade of grass.
A counterfeit memory card operates on the same principle as any other counterfeit product – it resembles another product, but isn't what it appears to be. Many sellers offer simple 8 GB memory cards while claiming they are 64 GB cards. Any data exceeding the actual 8 GB capacity will be lost.
Microprocessor and motherboard manufacturer Intel is working with hard drive manufacturers to standardize a new 2.5" disk format for Ultrabooks. The idea is to reduce the size of hard drives by 28%.
Since 2006, hard drives have used a technology called PMR (Perpendicular Magnetic Recording) for data recording.
In March 2012, Seagate was the first manufacturer to successfully store more than 1Tb per square inch using HAMR technology.
As announced some time ago, Hitachi has released a 4TB hard drive.
Over 200 partners throughout Switzerland!
From 40 partners in 2009 to over 200 in 2011, this clearly demonstrates the ever-increasing popularity of SOS Data Recovery, a data recovery service offered by Tesweb sa. Furthermore, with now more than 50 partners in German-speaking Switzerland, the company is developing on a national scale.
As we mentioned in a previous note, SOS Data Recovery has launched a new service called "forensic computer," focused on finding evidence on computer equipment.
It is in this context that we followed with interest a study that ranked different European cities according to their vulnerability to cybercrime.
A brand new, free SOS Data Recovery mobile application is now available on the Android Market Store.
Developed by SOS Data Recovery to meet the demands of modern society, this mobile application has many features.
