One of my servers got hit with this today.
Is phishing emails the only way this thing is getting around? Or are there other means?
Spent 3 hours today finding the latest security update and manually updating all my devices.
Sorry OP, your best bet is to pay the ransom if the stored information are important.
The way ransom software's work is that they are automated with sending you the legit unlock code after payment ( 80% of them are ).
Just for information, this was running in the wild for some time now, 99% of our hosted VPS`s got hit and luckily only mining software was installed and no lockers..
And dont blame the attackers, NSA developed these exploits in the first place and it was developed in 2015. God knows what they have now.
I just rebuilt the servers. Its all good. Clients of mine are kinda pissed, but nothing we can do about it. Shite, huge Corporations got hit hard too.
I had to wipe my entire harddrive a few years back from that shit. Its a huge pain in the ass.One of my clients machines got hit by a malicious encryptor 'Wana DecryptOr 2.0 Anyone aware of or know a program to unlock these files?
Let me ask their customer support...brb1). what is guarantee?
Sorry OP, your best bet is to pay the ransom if the stored information are important.
Do you really think someone is going to manage milions requests of unlocking codes (since the source of the infection is the same in this case) ?
They just don't give a f***k if you pay
nomoreransom.org This website was made by Europol's Cybercrime Center EC3, I hope it helps you out.One of my clients machines got hit by a malicious encryptor 'Wana DecryptOr 2.0 Anyone aware of or know a program to unlock these files?
Its an automated system, and yes they do give a F*ck about the unlock codes, because if there are no unlock codes than whats the point of paying the ransom ?
Think twice before posting professor.
And dont blame the attackers
I know who paid already and got nothing. The "check payment" button shown is totally fake, no automated systems as you say as 99% of ransomware doesn't have.
I usually think more than twice when I post, thanks.
Yes for sure... it's the people that make the guns, not the ones that fire them that should get life in prison...
p.s. that's a metaphor, no political intent, ... intended!
I said 80%, read carefully.
