Been so many of late, I forget what number Cerber is at now Big Grin

they are all nasty and does not change the fact like GuiltySpark said your shit out of luck, which is the case for many of these ransomware. Its easy to beat ransomware if everyone follows this simple rule Backup, Backup, Backup.

A few months ago, a dentist office here got hit with this " I can't recall the type of ransomware". Instead of paying the ransom, they rebuilt the whole database. Yes... they did have a backup, but it was all on paper. Took them 3 months to recover.

The problem is, people are just paying the ransom. The news even reported on a police station that got hit and they also paid the ransom. The more that they get money, they will keep doing it.

I know, if people would stop paying the ransom, there would be no more ransomware, but to be fair to them, besides backing up data, they have no choice if their data is encrypted, they would do anything to get it back so they would have to pay but I see your point Larry

They usually do Compton, but with some businesses and public entities, not everything that an IT Department suggest is done for whatever reason. "Till Something Happens"

ya I know but sometime you have persistent my rule is if you are not willing to pay for data backups
I am not going to work for you because if something goes wrong you will not hear it was that cheap manager or boss not willing to pay for
data backups it will be Compton the IT guy should have gone
