Customer acknowledges that responsibility for all Data, text, information, messages and other material submitted by its users to the Platform lies solely with Customer. Customer is solely responsible for the integrity and quality of Data, and for maintaining an appropriate backup thereof.

The “Recent Ransomware Attacks” information provided on the Platform (https://ransomwareattacks.halcyon.ai/) is generated based on hosting choices of real-world threat actors, and a handful of other tackers.
