I've always used Dropbox. Always set the root to my `~/ directory. Always worked for me even when hit or accidentally learnt sudo find / -delete -name *.txt. But then again, all my data never exceeded around 4GB

Wash,

Please note that the backup can contain the ransomware since some work with a time bomb.

 

So in addition to backup include other measures such as antimalware, patched systems, user education etc

Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Cerber Ransomware

 

While you guys are working on this, I have seen two situations where both Cerber and Zepto ransomware messed up two entities.

 

Since then, I have been thinking about how to always be ready to mitigate the effects. And the surest way is backup, backup, backup.

 

In situations where files are stored on shared drives on the network, the situation is even worse should the share not have a backup elsewhere.

 

In the meantime, this tool should help Windows users create backups -> http://www.2brightsparks.com/download-syncbackfree.html

Yeap. My cleint was attacked by batman_good@aol.com.xtbl

They encrypted some files, and changed them to .xtbl format,  still figuring how to decry pt the files that were not backed up.
