Crying - seeing a few HELP_DECRYPT type files on the server......oh joy.
Good luck buddy, I mean that sincerely
It's fine fired up the datto backup hr before it hit and copying back over.
Computer that did it has been switch off and is being replaced with a new computer
Glad to hear you got it straightened out so quick... YEA for Backups! What security was on the affected workstation?

Pretty much zero hence it was shut down and replaced
have a list of 15+ mchines so far that need replacing and then a further 30+ that need re-configuring/joining to the domain/AV/remote support tools etc.Busy month or two for me as it's along side with getting new Citrix going moving 250 users to it and then Upgrading GP2010 to GP2015

I was just rereading your first post again and this last one.
The affected system was off... Yet was encrypting data on your server?
Or
Was the data written in the past while the offending system was on, and you just found it?
I just wondered I don't recall (In my limited memory or whatever else you wanna call it) a ransom-ware strain that infects a workstation and has the ability to "encrypt data on a network while (said workstation) is in an off state"
That would then indicate another system must be running the code, while purporting to be the "off workstation."
Just wondering, I know many things are possible.

Last minute packing and various online craziness for tonight!

Important FYI: the shuttle from holiday inn only runs to the airport if you call it. Had to catch a $22 cab ride here after waiting at the airport for over a half an hour. No bueno.
Did they take care of the shuttle back for you on check-in? They said they would.
(If not, you have to reserve it at the front desk.)
-
Yeah they are supposed to as part of the check in process

I've called the front desk a few times the past few weeks. They seem very nice.

I hope everything goes well for you and everyone else tonight(And the next few days)
I would love to join you next time. I cant wait to hear about everything that happens there, Unless of course Vegas rules apply!
-
Oh nothing will remain a secret. I love to share embarrassing stories I will share a few tonight (tune in to the youtube channel over the next few weeks and you can see all sessions and even the Keynote tonight).
Teasers: Linburger Cheese, Parking Garages, I know I have a few more.

Should of mentioned it was an E-mail they opened on a Citrix Server that has mapped drives, but we told them to shut down before we found that out in case. But some of the new crypto's can do network scans and find open shares I believe

Currently doing last minute packing for MANGOCON LET'S DO THIS IT'S TIME
See you soon!
Last minute packing would imply that I have even started packing right?
Nah
My train leaves in 8 hours. I need to be on the local line in 6.5
I have not packed.
And I still have to connect the new stove in the kitchen so my wife can cook while I am gone.
Got a towel?
Not quite panicking yet. but busy for sure. Time to ignore you all for a bit.
I'm a little hurt :(.
I would agree with you @coliver - except I normally am ignored.. so just ...well....

Forgot to bring a light jacket......
Yea,.. same here. But oh well. However the weather here is about the same as I have in KY, and this isn't to bad.... yet.

I knew they would scan networks and start the encryption process if they had the rights to do so on mapped drives.
I just don't know about how they would continue encryption after the "host" system was shutdown. -

No hard to lose him in Rochester (and no @scottalanmiller that wasn't a challenge to try anything).

I'm on my second cup... but it's a big cup, lol.

My trainee did something nice today: reading temperatures from a DS18B20 on a Pi Zero using a Python script. Great task to learn lots of things about Linux, scripting and hardware.
