Colleagues,
A good friend of mine owns a dental practice whose data was encrypted with
ransomware. Apparently all of the primary and backup data were encrypted.
I'm getting info secondhand from him and so don't have all the details yet
(eg, which OS, which variant of ransomware, etc).
They're ask
Thanks, all, for the comments and advice. I have given your recommendations
and comments to my friend.
I was particularly struck by Mr. Guarino's story about receiving support
from Cryptowall's operators after he paid the ransom. That's a great story,
even if it portends badness for our time.
