Let's look at this a bit differently - Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system or computer files until a sum of money is paid. Most ransomware variants encrypt the files on the affected computer, making them inaccessible, and demand a payment to restore access. Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system or computer files until a sum of money is paid. Most ransomware variants encrypt the files on the affected computer, making them inaccessible, and demand a ransom payment to restore access. Ransomware is rarely individually targeted, but rather a “shotgun” approach where the attackers (Clue I) acquire lists of emails or compromised websites and blast out ransomware. Microsoft used a method to install software giving it superuser rights without a login. (Clue II) Most ransomware is based on this same install job. It is lightweight but identifiable. Ransomware is a tripartite intruder and is based on what's already there on Windows (mscexe) in your compute and a substitution of legit program (outlook encrypt) Once the 3 parts are there your system is theirs and only a windows product key method "EFHST-G6ERT-VXWMT-FF8MB-MYERR" can free it - all thanks to Microsoft's product key methodology. Oh and "backups" & PCmatic won't help and because Microsoft uses the same method to stop you from sharing software. You have seen the screen yourself => you have entered an invalid the product key! Ransomware can be shipped with a NSA crack( EternalBlue ) forced onto the city of Baltimore (Clue III ) but the same code to create a superuser is open to the public is the end to all protection - because it hides using Microsoft's hidden directory method. Well what to do now, pay the BTC? Yes and NO Yes buy BTC and NO this is where we create a pigeon drop for out NSA connected friends - we don't accept the face price and try to keep our BTC keys and Encrypt theirs. For the FBI and NSA the profit from robbing Venezuela, Iran, Russia, Ukraine and Switzerland has been too great for them to stop. As witnessed with Venezuelan money gone and power outage. That said, demand that Microsoft be held liable for product defects and to make all actions visible to the end user community ( no hidden files or directories ).
