Ransomware Virus
It is highly important to turn off your computer as soon as you suspect and see encrypted files, this virus will usually show a ransom page once it’s finished encrypting.
We do not recommend paying the Ransom as there are reports saying they got their data back but in our experience it has been a 100% failure rate.
The best defence is basic security standards in-place

The ransomware problem is a business problem.
Cyber risk is hands down the greatest threat to an organization’s data. Your organization is more likely to be impacted by a cyber-attack than you are to win a coin toss.
