Hey ALL
Again, thanks for your help so far.
Yeah, some of you haven't read thru the parts where I stated that thought I was backing up continuously, that I'm an outside consultant and therefore fell thru the cracks of IT backups. I had antivirus, and have run lots of malware now and the threat appears to be removed.
All of my files are still here, but they are encrypted with 2048 RSA encryption. This is like out of a movie, pay the ransom, get the key.
You don't think I'll get my files back but many have in fact, gotten theirs back. In the spirit of get what you pay for, if they didn't make good on the promise then there would be more reports of this. I also feel like I would not have been able to INSTANTLY get my "test" file back so quickly. I mean, it was instantaneously available, so obviously the process is automated.
What I'm worried about at this point is the offer expiring. I never saw the original splash screen but it's been like 72 hours. Gotta make this happen today. Waiting for some folks to get back to me about selling their coin.
Going to look into buying at TruCoin as a backup I guess
