Restore backup.

There are no backups

Server hacked

Nothing works

Wat do?

>yandex
fucking russians man

You got what you deserved.

There are backups but they are inaccessible.

contact for key, they got your balls m8
time to play their game
your company will probably have to shell out cash and youll probably get fired but hey....
oh well

If they don't contain any irreplaceable data, just wipe 'em and reinstall. Don't finance the ransomware cancer.

Fresh install, restore from backup.

>he downloaded 141.exe

Was it GNU/Linux?

Post on Sup Forums about it, of course.

Fake and gay. It's very easy to write a little program that boots up only to print string related onto the screen.

OP is bamboozling y'all.

"i can't believe this is you on this picture"

>This E-Mail contains a file "Happening.jpeg.exe"

Yeah, they're cunning

What's to stop them from doing it again in the future?

It's a hospital network. All the hospitals in our chain were affected. Losing hundreds of thousands a week on it.

There is a lot of irreplaceable data that can't be lost.

I didn't. I don't know how it happened. I'm a biomedical technician but for some reason my boss wants me to work with the IT fagets to get the issue resolved.

Even the FBI has investigators on it but they can't do shit.

insurancejournal.com/news/southeast/2016/08/31/424943.htm

One of your employees fucked up. Your network administrator didn't lock things tight enough.

Feel free to let your admin know that people are going to die and that it is entirely his fault.

I'm through the looking glass

Ok, I'll tell him.

MBR ransomware does exist, but I'm not aware of one that also spreads to other machines on the network, unless you had a ton of users click the infected EXE.

Give the Russians money

kill yourselves and terminate your business please

>insurancejournal.com/news/southeast/2016/08/31/424943.htm

How the fuck did an entire chain of hospitals, with probably thousands of computers between them, get the same shitty virus?

this

:^))))))

>It's a hospital network. All the hospitals in our chain were affected. Losing hundreds of thousands a week on it.
>There is a lot of irreplaceable data that can't be lost.
Damn. Sounds like you're probably SOL then. I mean, it's technically possible that the ransomware uses some outdated encryption method that can be broken, but I wouldn't count on it.

CD-rom?
You don't have the hdd boot option 1?
Just format the whole hdd, if it doesn't work wipe the whole hdd.

It's just like one of my Mr. Robot episodes!

This. If you're a hospital that's all you can do. Sorry for that.

so there are no backups

Lemme guess, Windows XP everywhere right?

Can't believe this hasn't been said yet but...

Install Gentoo.

I don't know. I was hoping some computer geek on Sup Forums could give me more insight into stuff like this.

I just service equipment, like IV pumps, monitors, ECG machines, etc.

That's what I figured.

No HDD boot option 1.

They told us reformatting and wiping data isn't an option.

Windows 7.

That troll got you guys good.

Hello,
Are there any experts out there?
Please reply if you can help me.
I just rm -rf'ed /home

I don't know how
But I need this feature now.
My users are pained
I need my server up again.

Relax.
The list needs a dmesg first.
Just the basic facts
Stop whining between your blurts.

There is no wifi, you are pleading.
Vendor firmware not on horizon.
Packets only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but broken audio mutes what you're saying.
Fork-bomb child. Crappy C coder.
Bad PF ruleset. Machines fall down, go boom.
Now we've got that feeling once again.
We can't explain, you would not understand.
This is just how you are.
Original poster, you ... have become comfortably dumb.

OK
Just a little firewall pin prick
There'll be lots of aaaaaaaah!
You're p0wn3d by a script kiddie dick.

Can you upgrade?
We do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going for a while.
Our patience is at null.

I can no longer handle reading misc.
I want to scrape out both my eyes.
I tried to reply but your address bounced.
I give you my middle finger now.
My inner child is crushed.
My dreams are gone.
You ... have become comfortably dumb.

Contact that russian email adress.

Maybe he accepts credit card.

theo pls go

at least macs have wifi

>millions in damage
>could've just paid the russians 500 bucks and had it undone by now

>pay russians money
>they spend it all on vodka, caviar, abibas tracksuits, and krokodil
>reactivate hack to get more money
>rinse & repeat

email them a shitload of gay porn

like thousands of gb worth

Lul just fixmbr

Considering how much a hospital makes they can probably afford to keep russkies afloat until the krokodil kicks in for good.

>They told us reformatting and wiping data isn't an option.
then restore from backup or pay the ransom you fucking retard

>muh hackers
Tell the retards to stop browsing porn with work computers and don't run unsigned executables. Or even better use active directory and a competent sysadmin to lock your shit down to protect the employees from themselves.

You could go linux but your productivity would probably plummet like studies suggest.

>implying that you will recover your data if you pay them.

>HELLO ! Welcome to worm.com !

>Hacked By Chinese !

ARH are superjews dude. I'm not OP but I worked for one in KY.

Most staff is underpaid as fuck. Even nurses are only hovering around $19/hr. Most workers in the hospitals make around $7.50-$8/hr.

I was a respiratory therapist and only made $12/hr. Anywhere else it's at least $25/hr starting.

The only people who make decent money are the head honchos. Even department supervisors are capped at $45k a year. That whole hospital chain is pathetic.

Bullshit, what studies?

yes you will, that's how any "business" works, it's more profitable to be "legit", kill yourself

You should go and hack some more ram faggot.

Why is there anything irreplaceable on your end points? Try and figure it out for half an hour, if you fail just reimage

>There are no backups

Look for a new job

I remember reading a few years ago about some exploit that infected all unpatched computers on a LAN. Sounds like incompetent IT staff. Using Linux would probably not help since all boxes would be rooted by now.

>anonymous Ransomware Russkis with vodka-stained mousepads squatting at their Voldastka-III Powerstation that hack hospitals for Krokodil money operate on muh honor system
O i am laffin

this site is 18+

you're fucking retarded KILL YOURSELF

...

This

as far as you know its some russka sckript kiddie that doesn't give a shit and laughs his ass off all the way to the bank

Gurgle it. It was some bullshit about average retards' productivity dropping to 20% because of muh windows shortcuts and where is muh wangblows. The sad part is that I actually believe that study.

Some inbred hick hospital gets hacked. You expect us to care?

FUCKK OFF RETARDED SHIT KIDS

THERE ARE COUNTLESS NEWS ACCOUNTS OF PEOPLE PAYING THE RANSOM AND GETTING THEIR DATA BACK

IF THEY DIDN'T UNENCRYPT THE DATA THEN NO ONE WOULD PAY

FUCK OFF CANCEROUS UNDERAGE LITERAL 14 YEAR OLDS

You are an idiot. It has been investigated by several companies and independant consultants and proven that in most if not all cases key was provided after paying the "ransom"

>Not having backups
Are you retarded or are you retarded?

>Large network of computers
>not running one giant server with virtual machine terminals
wew lad, it's like you wanted to get hacked

found ur culprits OP

>Large network of computers
>Not having file servers with the most basic of basic backup in place
wowzers

restore from backup, something a good business always has
/thread

Aye, that sounds familiar. I'd bet that productivity returns to normal if they just stick to it for a while, though. I mean, having to learn how to use a new OS out of the blue can be a bit disorienting, especially for non-techies, but surely you'd get used to it?

>hospital workers can't cure a virus

Jesus Christ I bet it isn't even actually encrypted, just boot from a live cd and fix it.

very funny but i'm just pissed off at the arrogance of some of the kids on Sup Forums who just assume things and assert it as facts

Wasn't there some ransomware that was disguised as an unpaid invoice that proceeded to encrypt all hard drives it had access too and even network disks?

Send an e-mail here with a fresh photo and your email..

[email protected]

Get me flights and I will rescue you OP. Flying from UK.

Maybe, I bet it's something ridiculously easy to fix like stated however.

...

>inb4 they encrypted the C drive but all the information on the other drives is unscathed

if they went through the effort to hack the pc they may as well encrypt the hdd for real

>implying they make other drives

I don't know. I've tried to get my 65 year old dad to use internet banking the past 10 years because it's more or less the only way to pay bills that doesn't involve ridiculous charges per invoice. The banking interface looks more or less the same as 10 years ago and I do a new try each month. He just can't wrap his head around how to use or where to enter things. He lacks that ability to quickly scan a computer screen and filter out the important stuff like text fields and so on. A lot of people are the same.

I'd laugh my ass off though; I've seen it before.

...

Just pay the Russians their ransom. There is really no other way around it.

>Connecting your work computers to the internet

/thread

>they might as well take a week to encrypt a few terras of data with a surreptitious program that for some reason nobody will notice

Ransomware with actual encryption isn't even a thing for fucks sake.

Just read this whole thread and its kinda funny how incompetent this whole "technology" board board is. Do none of you know anything about randomware? Is everyone here just a script kiddie?

i simply do not get what hinders older people to not be able to do this.
It's like they are lacking a basic function.

>Ransomware with actual encryption isn't even a thing

Something happened.
Install gentoo.

>There are no backups
Fire the admin.
Pay up.
Hire a competent fucking person to do the job.

they come from a simpler time which didn't have nearly as much technology, they usually had a very limited education by modern standards, and their brain has basically "settled" so they have a hard time learning new things

Have you every encrypted anything? It takes time and processing. Last time I encrypted a 1TB disk it took over 26 hours. In a server where data is being constantly and concurrently accessed there's absolutely no way such program could run for days without one of the users running into and already encrypted file and noticing what's going on. Also the admins would definitely notice the change in performance. I will say it again: ransomware with actual encryption doesn't exist at all and it probably never will.

...

I am 26 and grew up with win98 and later xp. Simple and consistant interfaces. Nowadays every single facebook page redesign is fucking annoying, I quit fb several times because of that. Twitter, instagram and all that I dont even bother because I find their interfaces simply unintuitive and confusing.

Should have used systemd/Linux nothing would have happend

If you don't plan on paying up, you should turn the tables for lulz. Pay a few dollars using a junk account and tell them to check if you sent it to the right account, then they'll get greedy and think they're getting rich, and will contact you demanding the rest, but then affirm that you have it programmed to be sent upon computer confirmation of the code. Nothing will probably happen but you can give any info gathered to the feds. Sometimes their reaction and responses can yield some insight into who you are dealing with.

i'm so sick of this shit i swear this is my last post in this thread because you're not worth my time

it can run in the background and it can use a simplified encryption algorithm etc

if you actually tried looking at the real world you could find articles where people analyze it etc because obviously people would try to recover their files but fail due to the encryption

ARROGANT IDIOT ASSWIPE
