Weekend tech ping.
Any experience with a Cryptolocker?
Fortunately, no personal experience. But I do daily backups that can restore my system from scratch (full image, plus incrementals) and if Crypto hits or the hard drive quits, I can just wipe the drive and reload from backups. So I don't worry about those kinds of attacks or failures.
Acronis True Image. It's less than $50 and I can't say enough good things about it. No, I'm not associated with the company in any way, I'm just a satisfied customer.
I realize that information is of limited value if it's already too late. But it's good for the next time.
