From a video I saw on youtube most of these Ransomwares scan the network for File Share servers, so if you have setup backup folders on a file share, disconnect it.

You don't have to pay the ransom. It's that time that backups become handy!

Ransomware will be the end of Network/Systems engineers. However there is a positive side: Finance Managers (under whom they always place IT) and Management will now listen to IT when they ask for something and not see their budgets as unnecessary OPEX.

Dear skunkers,

I'm tonight fighting this monster. He has locked two servers and several workstations. Anyone that has succeeded without sending a ransom.

Good night
