Hello, guys !
Please help with in fighting the virus.

At the wife at work the server and other computers picked up a virus similar to WannaCry
(All except the wife's computer, to which I installed Comodo)

The server is a laptop without antivirus and firewall.
All important information is stored on the server.

Oh boy. Are you from the eastern europe? It looks like a Wannacry variant is spreading fast in parts of Russia and Ukraine:

Notice how the picture looks like yours and this other russian guy here:



Yes it looks like you are not the only one. Now I am starting to feel afraid too...


... Not sure whether I wanna laugh or I wanna cry...

So it seems like this is another ransomware attack, different soup, same ingredients, mostly likely a similar virus. Anyone have advice on what to do? (E.g. Backup files...)

The twitter page here is having a commotion there right now.

The best thing to do will be to wait for an official national announcement as you are not the only one. Hopefully someone will be able to solve this again.


A good reminder to backup your data immediately, starting by your bitcoin private keys. In fact, im going to do that right now.
