- kaoD 9y agoPer computer. If the ransomware has no vulns itself, this is going to be a hit to economy, either by paying the ransom (it's already hit some major companies) or the losses produced by it.
- BillFranklin 9y agoThank you, I didn't see that.
- gtsteve 9y agoI should hope that they can just reimage the workstations and if network drives were affected, just restore from shadow copy or backups.
- kaoD 9y agoYou can reimage the workstations but how much work has been lost? Probably an awful lot. I can't even fathom how many spreadsheets with no backup have been lost today. WRT backups... :^)
- jermaustin1 9y agoI've rarely worked at a place that didn't shadow copy your user directory to a network location. The only thing that SHOULD be lost is whatever hadn't been saved when they were ransomwared. The company should be able to pull a backups from the last file change prior to that event.
- Nexxxeh 9y agoHas anyone paid this specific ransom and had their files decrypted? I've got a client who is infected. A member of their staff has now left for a holiday, this is a nightmare. I'm loathed to have them pay the ransom, but restoring from the last backup will cost vastly more in work product and business impact than the cost of the ransom.
