Look how official this looks. What A SCAM!

imageThis is a continuation of the scam that we have been warning you about! The problem is that once you are infected it is too late to do anything about it.

You have two choices. Pay up or revert to your backups. What! No Backups! Well this is something that you need to think about. The encryption locks away your data so that you need to access some kind of clean separate backup that is incremental so that you can roll back to a clean drive.

If you are not already setup to do this, then you need to talk to us to give you a solution to provide this kind of protection.
