Re: Nastiest Windows malware yet: Ransomware
That's quite interesting, I suppose having regular backups is the only way around it and then restoring them...

Most companies would back up their Data at least every night. However in Russia or China where thy rarely even use original software it might be a threat but I don't really mind since they don't give a shit in the first place.

Re: Nastiest Windows malware yet: Ransomware
I work for a large corporation and they don't back up anything from workstations. We have network shares to use and personal network storage which gets backed up. I imagine file rights would keep it from getting too out of control. I wonder if a Windows user would notice the computer slow down while encrypting? Or would they just think it's part of the Windows experience, .
