@RojoLoco My understanding is that this wasn't an end-user issue. Rather, the prior IT guy left a router protected by a weak password.

Ouch. Then they will need to hire at least 1 competent IT person. Hopefully they won't become a target after being successfully attacked (not paying the ransom helps with this).

Found this post from earlier today on bleepingcomputer.com.
It would be wonderful if these can be used to build a decryption tool.

yes and no.
yes because someone doesn't have to start over - no because the company not might really step up their IT game.

@Dashrender Oh.. they are definitely stepping up their IT game. New MSP is hired already. I'm reviewing their $26K proposal, which includes new security devices, new server, new backup appliance, etc.
Some of their recommendations call for solutions that I don't have experience with, so I'll start another thread to seek input on that.

OK so I just updated my lab copy of XO, and it worked without issue. I'm gonna snapshot, and try the update again and see if it breaks.
