The company I work for got hit by a ransomware attack. They're holding one of our servers hostage and asking for $5k in BTC. Our IT guy doesn't know what to do, he cant simply erase the server since all of our records and data since 2015 are on that drive
What do Jow Forums? Do we pay these chink hackers the ransom? Is there a way to decrypt the ransomware?
or ask them to pay in sime shitcoin that will be dumped soon after
Luke Williams
come to think of it this is a great opportunity op tell the company they have to pay send btc to your own wallet tell them the chinks demand more btc send the btc to your own wallet keep doing this until the company decides to fuck it and formats the hdd.
Lincoln Cruz
also what you can do to make this legit is either edit a screenshot that shows your wallet address, or hit the ransomware with a debugger and find the string in memory and replace with your own that way the live malware will demand btc sent to your wallet.

I remember my brother was triying to get some keyloggers, passwords and real credit cards over TOR once. The retard got our computer highjacked. I'm glad we had nothing of value there, but what a fucking retard he was
Jace Jackson
Step in and show your awesome computer skills. Tell your boss there should have been a backup and tell him you know how to use Bitcoin. Perfect chance to show your worth OP.
(yes pay)
Cooper Hughes
Tell them not to then bring it up the next time they spend money on stupid shit.
Dominic Taylor
Timestamped sharpie from both you and the IT guy.
Kayden Johnson
Fire the IT guy and hire one that knows what replication and a backup is.
Chase Thompson
>decrypt the ransomware? most of them yes but you didn't say which one you have also >IT guy doesn't have backups what company do you work for?
Christopher White
