So, this isn’t a April Fools joke?
unfortunately, it isn’t
Absolutely not. Stay safe.
I got this bugger on my work computer back in December. It was hell to get rid of, but I left that duty to the “capable” hands of the hospital’s IT department. They had to completely wipe my hard drive clean to eradicate it. If it had been my personal PC that got it, I’d be so screwed.
Really it is. This thing is based on a virus that’s been on the detection list for all the major AVs for months, and it exploits a Windows vulnerability that got patched last year. But everybody loves the fear.
