Are You Ready for a Ransomware Attack?
 

Today there was a large cyber attack in Ukraine, Russia, and other countries. It's only a mater of time before this becomes a regular thing.

YNOT has a great article about being ready for a cyber attack:

I never use a computer or tablet and my phone is from the 90's. My home has zero technology. Hell, I don't even use a TV.

I am pretty sure I am the last person that will ever get attacked.

So you are posting on GFY using smoke signals? heh-heh

I'm at work.

Where do you work?

McDonalds.

Your IP address didn't track back to McDonald's

I guess he was.

Wait until this happens in the US when our power grid goes down..... This will be huge.

he´s da big mac :)


@op, so you´re saying that any of us could have our systems corrupted, but this has been happening for years?

I was watching an interview the other night with a security expert on that subject.
He said that "hacking" the power grid isn't really a threat. He was more worried about North Korea potentially firing a nuke and exploding it in the atmosphere causing an electromagnetic pulse that would take out all of our electricity.

I'm not familiar enough with this subject to really know if either scenario is likely. But it seems like both things are possible.

Already was ready, I got an email from Mcafee May 16th. :)

just patching my windows 7.

thanks obama

Hell no. I would just walk away at that point.

Windows 10 will protect me

I'm ready for this. I have backups on 2 different servers, my main PC and a thumb drive that I keep in my rectum. I guess the one in my rectum is overkill, but I felt silly with a blank flash drive up there.
