This is a short note on this increasing threat; hackers encrypting computer hard disk drives (but in most cases only your data) and demanding ransom (paid in bit coin) to get your data un-encrypted. These attacks are increasing and are impossible to recover from without actually getting the decryption key from the hackers. This is happening to individual computers (Windows, Apple, Android, all types of systems) as well as business systems (usually from an email or clicking on a link in an email or on a website). There is no “easy solution” since these hackers use encryption keys that are randomly generated and very complicated. Very large companies which have been attacked have had to pay the ransom because they were unable to decrypt the files on their own.

The only safe solution is to have good backups on external drives that ARE NOT connected to your system when it gets infected; if the external drive is connected when the hackers encrypt your files they may also infect the external drive. So what are the options and safe guards? Basically you should have an external drive that is only connected when you actually do a backup and is not connected the rest of the time. You should also do data backups daily onto that external so that if you do get hacked the worst loss is that current day’s data.

This recommendation applies to both your business and personal systems. Seems like these hackers are ever evolving into finding new ways to make our lives more complicated.

Good luck and hope you never get infected.

Microsoft stops supporting Windows XP in April of 2014. That should be reason enough to move onto a new PC and or Windows version but the most compelling reason is other software vendors. Why? They will stop providing updates to their software that will work on XP. Most software makers can't afford to maintain versions of software that run on 3 different versions of Windows plus apps that work on mobile devices. So bite the bullet and start planning to "upgrade" to Windows 7 or 8.
