@zmkc @Colvinius … Unless, that is, something turns up in the next few days. I’ll keep an eye open for you, but don’t get too hopeful.

@ConnorRedux Good question. I don’t know the answer, but personally I would anyway, to eliminate even the possibility of cross-infection.
@Colvinius @zmkc My pleasure. Some bad news, tho, is that the “fake energy bill†crew seem well-organised, unlikely to use cracked versions.
@bigbadave @Colvinius Thanks, Dave. Alas, @zmkc is in Hungary right now, but I’ll remember those guys for any local problems.
Has anyone put together a handy list of which ransomware variants have been cracked and for which decrypt tools exist?
@zmkc @Colvinius If it’s any consolation, paying the ransom usual works, I’m told. The crims don’t want to make it seem pointless.
@zmkc @Colvinius If neither of those are options, then it’s either pay the ransom or suck it up, you’ve lost the lot. Sorry.
@zmkc @Colvinius If not, security companies / law enforcement have built free tools for SOME of these ransomware variants. Its exact name?
@zmkc @Colvinius This is a common one. First question: Do you have a recent backup of all your data? If so, wipe the computer, reinstall.
