David H. Lipman Posted August 14 ID:1654979 Share Posted August 14 That language is to increase the likelihood of the victim making a ransom payment. If one knows their files are damaged then there is less hope of recovery and thus why pay. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted August 14 Root Admin ID:1655051 Share Posted August 14 Make backups of your data to an external USB drive. Then disconnect that backup drive and keep it disconnected until the next time you do a backup. If you keep the drive enabled - most ransomware can reach anywhere you can reach. In many cases even Online in the Cloud. If you can access it just assume that the ransomware can also. Keep the external drive disconnected. Never connect it to a computer you suspect of being infected.
